EPIC EP!C •Empowering People. Inspiring Capabilities. We believe a Diagnosis is not an identity.

For over 70 years, EP!C has refused to accept a diagnosis as an identity. We are a leader in providing education, employment, and residential opportunities to people with disabilities, and we are passionate about discovering and developing potential. EP!C is a community of families, staff, volunteers, and community members working together to support individuals with intellectual and developmental

disabilities and their families tailored to each individual’s abilities and needs. Together we can elevate the voices, strengths, and positive contributions of persons with disabilities.

Last week, we attended the 76th annual The Arc of Illinois Convention.

Hundreds of agencies, individuals, family members, and advocates met for 2 days of inspiration and education with breakout topics regarding self-advocates, caregiving, industry acronyms, creating a safe workspace, behavior supports, and much more.

Author and comedian Zach Anner was one of the keynote speakers and spoke to how embracing obstacles unlocks optimism.

We were proud to be an exhibitor, but also to have a piece of EP!Casso art work selected for their contest.

This weeks celebrates the most recent Met Gala that was intentionally inclusive and accessible for the first time in 80 years! 🤯

Lil Gabi D Disabled people at the Met Gala?!?

Every year, I look forward to the first Monday in May aka the Met Gala. I love seeing the extravagant, creative looks and how designers interpret the theme. 🤩

This year has officially become my favourite Met Gala ever because there was more than one disabled person on the carpet! Plus, the event was accessible! ♿️

My favourite attendee was fellow Little Person Sinéad Burke, who is not only the founder and CEO of Tilting the Lens, but also worked with the Costume Institute to create a brand-new exhibit, The Disabled Body. 👩🏾‍🦼‍➡️

It’s amazing to see the trailblazers who are opening doors for the many disabled people coming after them. Now I know that when it’s my turn to go to the Met Gala, they’ll be ready for me! 💁🏾‍♀️

Happy National Nurses Day!

Today, we are proud to recognize the incredible nurses who bring care, compassion, and expertise to EP!C every day.

Our nursing team plays an important role in supporting the health, safety, and well-being of the people we serve. From answering questions and coordinating care to offering reassurance and helping individuals feel supported, their work makes a meaningful difference across our organization.

Thank you to our EP!C nurses for the dedication, patience, and heart you bring to your work. We are grateful for all you do!

The Supported Living team hosted a party at one of our apartment complexes.

While it is a great excuse to come together and eat delicious food, it's also important to focus on the historical significance of the day, which honors resilience, strength, and overcoming overwhelming odds for Mexico.

Celebrating Culture, Community, and Connection

Today, EP!C recognizes Cinco de Mayo as a time to celebrate Mexican culture, heritage, and the vibrant traditions that bring people together.

Whether through food, music, art, history, or community gatherings, days like today remind us of the importance of honoring diverse cultures and creating spaces where everyone feels welcomed, valued, and included.

At EP!C, we are proud to celebrate the people, stories, and traditions that make our community stronger.

May the 4th be with you!

We are celebrating Star Wars Day with a throwback that is truly out of this galaxy!

A few of our EP!C individuals had the chance to meet Chewbacca at Disney World, and from the looks of it, the Force was definitely strong with this group.

Whether you are a Jedi, a Wookiee, a droid, or just someone who loves a good adventure, today is a fun reminder that joy can be found in the little moments, the big memories, and the friends we meet along the way.

Happy May the 4th from EP!C

May is Mental Health Month

At EP!C, we believe mental health is an important part of overall well-being. Just like physical health, mental health deserves care, attention, understanding, and support.

Throughout the month of May, we’ll be sharing reminders, resources, and encouragement to help raise awareness and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health. Whether it’s checking in on a loved one, taking time to rest, asking for help, or simply learning more, every step matters.

Mental health is health, and no one should have to navigate it alone.
