<p style="margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%"><strong>ABLED: Creación de Futuros Reales para Adultos con Discapacidades</strong></p><div><br /></div><p style="margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">Cuando mi hijo Ben estaba cerca de terminar la secundaria, nos encontramos haciéndonos una pregunta que muchas familias de adultos jóvenes con discapacidades intelectuales y de desarrollo (IDD) se hacen:</p><div><br /></div><p style="margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%"><strong>¿Qué sucede a continuación?</strong></p><div><br /></div><p style="margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">Los años escolares están llenos de estructura, apoyo, amistades y rutina. Pero una vez que la escuela termina, el camino hacia adelante se vuelve incierto. Existen muchos programas, pero pocos ofrecen lo que los adultos con discapacidades realmente necesitan para prosperar: <strong>entrenamiento laboral práctico, pertenencia a la comunidad, desarrollo de la confianza y un verdadero camino hacia la independencia.</strong></p><div><br /></div><p style="margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">Y casi ninguno de ellos pone la alegría, la dignidad y el apoyo centrado en la persona en el corazón de la experiencia.</p><div><br /></div><p style="margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">Así que en 2020, comenzamos ABLED, primero como un pequeño grupo de adultos jóvenes que se reunían unos días a la semana alrededor de mesas de cartas, aprendiendo habilidades para la vida y construyendo amistades. Lo que comenzó como una idea simple rápidamente reveló una verdad más grande:</p><div><br /></div><p style="margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%"><strong>Nuestra comunidad estaba desesperada por un lugar donde los adultos con IDD pudieran aprender habilidades laborales reales, practicar la independencia y construir un futuro lleno de posibilidades.</strong></p><div><br /></div><p style="margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">Hoy, ABLED es un programa de capacitación laboral diurno de tiempo completo y trayectorias profesionales que sirve a adultos con discapacidades intelectuales y de desarrollo en toda la región de Sacramento.</p><div><br /></div><p style="margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">Nuestros clientes rotan a través de <strong>más de 30 actividades de entrenamiento laboral práctico</strong>, incluyendo:</p><ul><li>Trabajo de limpieza y mantenimiento</li><li>Habilidades administrativas y secretariales</li><li>Jardinería y paisajismo</li><li>Práctica culinaria y de servicios de comida</li><li>Redes sociales y marketing</li><li>Preparación para el servicio al cliente</li><li>Y más cada año</li></ul><p style="margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">También participan en desarrollo de liderazgo, capacitación en habilidades para la vida y currículo de preparación laboral: todo lo que necesitan para tener éxito en el empleo integrado competitivo.</p><div><br /></div><p style="margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">Y los resultados son reales:</p><ul><li><strong>Los clientes están consiguiendo empleo.</strong></li><li><strong>Los clientes están obteniendo pasantías pagadas.</strong></li><li><strong>Los clientes están construyendo confianza e independencia.</strong></li><li><strong>Las familias nos dicen que sus seres queridos finalmente están entusiasmados con el futuro.</strong></li></ul><p style="margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">Pero aquí hay algo que muchas personas no saben:</p><div><br /></div><p style="margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%"><strong>Cuando un adulto con discapacidad intelectual y de desarrollo alcanza el empleo integrado competitivo, los contribuyentes ahorran más de $500,000 durante la vida de esa persona.</strong></p><div><br /></div><p style="margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">Porque el empleo significativo reduce la dependencia de la asistencia pública y proporciona estabilidad a largo plazo, dignidad e independencia.</p><div><br /></div><p style="margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">ABLED está parcialmente financiado a través del Centro Regional de Alta California, <strong>pero esos fondos cubren solo una parte de lo que se necesita para operar un programa de entrenamiento laboral de alta calidad y alto apoyo.</strong></p><div><br /></div><p style="margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">Dependemos de donaciones para cubrir:</p><ul><li>Materiales de entrenamiento laboral (limpieza, jardinería, administrativos, etc.)</li><li>Apoyo de transporte</li><li>Currículo y materiales de habilidades para la vida</li><li>Incentivos para los clientes y apoyo para la graduación</li><li>Asociaciones comunitarias en lugares de trabajo</li><li>Equipo de seguridad</li><li>Capacitación y desarrollo del personal</li><li>Tecnología y herramientas de alfabetización digital</li><li>Actividades de bienestar y recreativas sociales que fomentan la confianza</li></ul><p style="margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">Su apoyo impacta directamente en la vida diaria de nuestros clientes: adultos que desean aprender, trabajar, contribuir y ser miembros valorados de su comunidad.</p><div><br /></div><p style="margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%"><strong>Su Donación Crea un Cambio Real</strong></p><div><br /></div><p style="margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">Cada dólar ayuda a un adulto con discapacidad a desarrollar las habilidades que necesita para tener éxito.</p><p style="margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">Su donación significa:</p><ul><li>Un adulto practicando para su primera entrevista de trabajo</li><li>Un cliente aprendiendo cómo limpiar un salón de clases, empaquetar inventario o saludar a un cliente</li><li>Una pasantía remunerada que conduce a un empleo a largo plazo</li><li>Una familia viendo a su hijo regresar a casa orgulloso</li><li>Una comunidad que se vuelve más inclusiva y accesible</li></ul><p style="margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%"><strong>Desde mi corazón: ¡Gracias!</strong></p><div><br /></div><p style="margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">Como madre, ABLED comenzó por mi amor por mi hijo, Ben.</p><div><br /></div><p style="margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">Como líder sin fines de lucro, continúa por mi amor por cada cliente que cruza nuestras puertas: cada uno con sueños, fortalezas y un futuro que vale la pena invertir.</p><div><br /></div><p style="margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%"><strong>Su donación hace posible ese futuro.</strong></p><div><br /></div><p style="margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">Por cada $3,000 recaudados, podemos agregar un cliente adicional a nuestro
