[why this work matters]

When accessibility grows, belonging grows with it. Every connection, resource, and partnership helps create a community where more people feel seen, supported, and included.

  • Brackets has a free medical equipment like library for children with medical needs. When families need equipment, waiting weeks or even months for delivery and insurance approval just isn’t an option. Being able to borrow what you need right away reduces stress, and makes a huge difference during already difficult times, and gets your kiddo up and working sooner rather than later. This kind of resource truly supports families when they need it most. The process was super easy and helped my son get into a walker right away.

    -Alexandria Newby

  • “Thank you for coming out to our center and coaching our employees. We are all so thankful for the support you have given us. You went above and beyond making sure everyone understood how to work with challenging behaviors. Thank you!!

    —Client

  • If you are looking for someone to coach you, or your employees, on best practices when working with challenging behaviors and creating an inclusive environment, I highly recommend utilizing [brackets]. Melina didn’t just tell us what needed to be done, she empowered us and made sure we had the tools to implement it. [brackets] is an amazing organization and a much needed resource for our community! “

    -Kenzie Emerson, Care House Learning Center

  • "The DD application process felt overwhelming at first, but having Melina come over and walk me through the workbook step by step made all the difference. She took the time to answer all of my questions, explain everything clearly, and offer thoughtful ideas I hadn’t considered. Her support helped me feel confident, informed, and much less stressed moving forward."
