With support from Mattingly Edge, Claire recently auditioned with the Mt. Washington Arts Council for their production of Clue! While she wasn't cast this time, we are so proud of Claire for trying something new and we can't wait to see what roles she lands in the future 🎭

Claire didn't audition for a play only casting people with disabilities. She also didn't audition for a part that was written as a disabled character. She auditioned for a typical role alongside others who did not have disabilities.

Why is this important? Because integration needs to happen EVERYWHERE. At Mattingly Edge, we believe everyone is better off when we live, work, and recreate in the same places - not in spaces segregated by ability. 🤝

Thank you to Claire and those like her who pave the way to more integrated spaces for all!

In t-minus 2 hours, our former Director of Development - Steven Michael Carr - will be named one of Louisville Business First's 40 Under 40!

Steven started as a Direct Support Professional (DSP) with Mattingly Edge before he moved into a development role, which made him the perfect person to share our stories with the world. He is still one of our biggest supporters and we are so proud of his success!

To celebrate, we're throwing it back to one of our favorite stories he told at a 2017 StorySlam hosted by The Moth about the first person with a disability he ever supported.

Congratulations, Steven! 👏🎉

Have you seen the new report - Disabling Infrastructure: The (In)accessible Housing Crisis in Louisville, Ky - from Gathering Strength, Inc. and the Community Foundation of Louisville Community Foundation of Louisville? 📊

It is a MUST READ - a staggering look at the woefully inadequate affordable, accessible housing crisis in Louisville. 🏡

We at Mattingly Edge are acutely aware of this issue due to the people we support and the barriers they have faced to find housing. You might even recognize a familiar face and story in the report 😉

Stay up to date with Gathering Strength and download the full report here: https://gatheringstrength.org/accessible-housing-report/

We are so proud of all the hard work Sarah put into planning and hosting her first art event! 💥
