Rosa Parks got on a bus and exercised her right to self-advocate.

Sometimes the goals we set may seem impossible. We say ‘Be Unstoppable’ and create yourself everyday. Our small actions can impact the lives of millions.
The Stars in the IDEATE Universe are doing just that everyday. Thank you to each of our members for having the courage to leave their comfort zones!

Doing the impossible

If it’s not obvious by now, we’re a one-of-a-kind organization. We are seasoned, credentialed advocates for people with disabilities who focus on technology and employment.

‘Disability’ is a natural part of the human condition rather than an absolute that defines an individual. As such, we use and create technologies that enhance competence rather than compensate deficits. Technology can help to level the playing field when finding or doing a job. IDEATE provides support that capitalize on personal strengths and motivation. Our goal is to find a natural “fit” between consumers’ strengths and experiences and their working lives.

Using technology can let us learn to look at individuals in a different way. We believe that finding the right mix of supports assist the participant to gain control over his/her own life and increase opportunities for participation in the community. Where are you going starting today? What can we do to help you recognize individual desires, interests, and dreams? Through team effort, we can develop a plan to turn dreams into reality. Work is a part of that recipe.

We are so happy to announce May 2, 2014 as our founding day! We would like to thank every person who contributed to our development. After two years of planning, designing and intense learning, we will formally begin our work creating Inclusion as a fledgling business entity. We created IDEATE to yield vital human experiences necessary for self-actualization and independence including, but not limited to: community-based employment and the development of formalized innovative practices wherein the individuals can cultivate self-selected natural supports.

Join our team! IDEATE is seeking to hire 3 dynamic individuals to support our participants to increase independence while working in the community!
