Experience Story: Patricia Russell

alt

Patricia Russell graduated from ASB’s Specialized Services class, Life Skills and Education in Diabetes, in May 2006.

Following her graduation, Patricia advanced to ASB’s Life Skills 3 class. Although she was initially unsure of herself and her abilities, Patricia has taken the training she received in independence and self-determination to heart.

When Patricia wanted to join a ceramics class at her local senior center, she was turned down because of her visual impairment.

Patricia was not about to let her vision impairment prevent her from participating in the activities that she loved. She persevered and is now enrolled in that ceramics class, serves on the SEPTA Advisory Committee, and is the group facilitator for ASB’s Inspirational group. She is an active member of ASB’s Ambassadors program and was extremely instrumental in helping ASB rectify a funding issue for its’ Specialized Services Program. Additionally, Patricia is a minister and teaches Bible Study and Sunday school at her church.

Patricia is doing what we wish for all of our clients - that is, getting back to business as usual.
