What an inspiring visit to AccessPoint RI's Cornerstone School and Dyer Adult Day Program!

Walking through their doors, you feel it immediately — a true community at work. Every corner reflects a deep commitment to building a supportive, inclusive environment where individuals of all abilities can learn, grow, and thrive together. From the joy in the classrooms to the connection and purpose in the adult day program, it was a powerful reminder of what's possible when a community comes together around care, dignity, and belonging.

Thank you to the incredible staff, families, and participants who welcomed us and shared part of their day. The work happening here is nothing short of remarkable. 💙

Our first-ever What’s Brewing Quarterly Coffee Chat is officially in the books — and it was exactly the kind of conversation our community needs. ☕

A number of organizations came together to talk about what matters most: transition support, community engagement, housing, employment, and the real gaps facing people with I/DD and their families.

The energy in the room was something special. Big ideas were shared, new connections were made, and we’re already excited about what’s ahead.

Thank you to everyone who showed up and made this first gathering so worthwhile. We can’t wait to do it again. 🤝
