Featuring Leah Shapiro

 

A key event in my life
Having my art displayed at the ISS picnic showcase this past summer.

My favorite recreation
I enjoy doing art and swimming.

My latest accomplishment
Working as an art teacher.

One thing most people do not know about me
I love making homemade pizza.

What does Self-Direction mean to me?
There is so many more things that I can do now than before I had Self-Direction. I feel supported at work because I have a job coach.  I get to participate in many community events, classes and activities of my choosing.  It has made my life so much better.

Where do you see yourself in the future?
One day I hope to move out, date, and have a good job.
