Our mission is to raise awareness, educate, and provide informational resources about various disability issues. Two of the ways we do so are by providing educational information in the monthly meetings broadcasted on the local cable network, SATV Channel 22, and providing a daily audible column to help maximize the pedestrian commuter’s safety.
