Severely Enabled: A Feel Good Story



My School (School of Labor and Employment Relations) is welcoming a new student who needs help with our elevator. This is a retrofit that will allow our student to use a phone app to call the elevator and program a floor. Cool part: Students in the College of Engineering have developed programming to make this work! 

When we enable people who have severe disabilities, we improve and enable those who are able, making us severely enabled. Hats off to UIUC employee, Ronald, who is doing the installation—and hats off to the campus for its total commitment to making education accessible to the disabled.
