Good Work, Jessica Sorgani!

Jessica and Nick taking a break at the Speech and Language Stimulation Center in Fort Collins
Not only does Jessica Sorgani touch many children’s lives as a speech therapist in a local elementary school, but she has also proven herself to be a friend and advocate to Nick and Awesome in Action. Jessica’s quiet and fun-loving demeanor is contagious, and Nick loves working with her in all capacities. As an experienced speech language pathologist, Jessica is very knowledgeable of Nick’s speech device, as well as communication in general. Lucky for us, Jessica has put this skill to work in order to help further the message of acceptance and inclusion that Awesome in Action shares with students throughout Northern Colorado. She helped Nick connect with many teachers in order to set up a presentation in the school where she works. This process can be tedious, but Jessica did not give in. She communicated over a course of a couple months with Nick and the team of teachers in order to coordinate a date for the presentation. As a result, Nick has met a fun new group people who truly care about expanding knowledge beyond the classroom for their students. Nick is very proud to know such a dedicated and driven Speech Language Pathologist! Thank you, Jessica, for being an Awesome Advocate!
The Employment Struggles of People with Intellectual and Developmental Delays
I am lucky because my dad has a safari company in Africa. I do not have to worry about money. I always have what I need.
My friend works two jobs and does not make enough money to live. He is a good guy. It is not fair!
We need to make change by:
- Building Awareness
- Changing the Rules
- Providing Opportunities for people with Intellectual and Physical Disabilities!
