Success Stories and Testimonials

Halie attends the Day Services Program at Evansville ARC. Approximately two years ago, she became a member of the Evansville ARC Self-Advocacy Group.  She was so excited that she ran for an elected office and was chosen by her peers to be the group’s Vice President. A short time later, Halie assumed a higher level of responsibility and filled the role of president for the group.

Before long, the group received word that The Self-Advocacy Network of Indiana was in search of a representative from southern Indiana. Halie interviewed for the rather prestigious position and was chosen following a unanimous decision by the hiring committee.

In her role, Halie attends Powerful Parents’ monthly meetings where she is available to meet and advise parents and consumers.  Additionally, she writes letters to advocate for people with disabilities.  She has even given presentations to various local committees, including the Vanderbugh County Commissioners.

We are very proud of Halie!
