There are more than 275,000 people in Colorado who live with disabilities and face significant barriers every day – barriers most people don’t think twice about. Simple tasks like opening doors and drawers, picking up dropped objects, doing the laundry – even going outside for a bit of fresh air or to get the newspaper – represent challenges that can often seem insurmountable. Without a way to live more independently, those with disabilities can find themselves isolated from friends, family and everyday life.
