Each year America celebrates its independence on the 4th of July. At United Cerebral Palsy we’re celebrating independence each and every day for people with developmental disabilities. The article in The Record titled, “The Spirit of Independence,” described how Kate Daugherty has become self-employed with her business KLD Errand Service. Kate has been diagnosed with a disability, but she doesn’t let that stop her from living a life of independence. She currently works for UCP utilizing our Supported Employment Program in an Adult Day Program helping others with disabilities. On the side, she has her very own business helping people by running errands for them. She recently earned her full independence when she moved out of her parent’s home. The article quoted Kate as saying that having a job at UCP is what has set her free, “I really can have my independence.”
