"This was my first APSE conference...it meant a lot to go and learn a lot and meet new friends. I wouldn't have been able to afford to go to the conference, if I didn't recieve a scholarship. Thanks ever so much for the scholarship as I was one of the fortunate ones to recieve one and it was great." Cynthia Kile, APSE Foundation Scholarship Recepient
Just wanted you to know that I liked this webinar. It should be included in required training for new Employment Specialists and Case Managers.

This was one of the best conferences I have ever attended! I am still talking about it to my co-workers.

Loved the APSE conference! KK Glass was well-received and KK and her sister Eilish had a great time selling. And our booth was next to Logan from Logan Magazine. Kailin is her biggest fan. She spoke at our People First Conference in March and KK loves her. She was in heaven having her next to us.

“Enjoyed reading the February 2011 issue of APSE Connections. I train job coaches across Louisiana and pull a lot of current information from APSE Connections and the Job Training and Placement Report for my sessions. These are awesome sources to find the most current info. Thanks so much to APSE for the leadership and support you provide.”

APSE will always be among the causes I will try to support. I can't imagine how many people's lives have been incomplete because they never had the opportunity to work. Keep up all that you do.
Also, I was pleased to see that APSE called for testimony in opposition to congregate, segregated residential programs. I sent my response to ADD last week. All people with disabilities should live in their communities where relatives, friends and neighbors can be a part of there lives and see to their health and safety. The institutional model has proved to be a failure for over 100 years, and should not even be an option in residential services
