PDS in Action
Socializing, being silly and laughing has helped People with Disabilities Succeeding heal from the pain and stress of the pandemic. PDS will always focus on employment and community inclusion but when this video was produced in 2021 we were prioritizing friendship and fun.
In 2009, 2010 and 2011, PDS participants were filmed for “The Awareness Project”, which is an online training program for our staff members and others. We compiled some of the footage into this short video, which illustrates our clients with developmental disabilities living life to its fullest as productive and accepted members of their community.
