Congratulations to…

Jennifer Carpenter, Wayne Parker Advocate of the Year Award winner – “I was shocked at first, to be honest. I was very honored by receiving it. I will say that I am proud that somebody thought enough to recommend me for the STEP Wayne Parker Advocate Award and then to be chosen for it. This award is a pretty big deal and I take pride in helping our families with disabilities and being able to make that pathway a little bit easier for them as their children transition to life after high school.

Jennifer Carpenter, Transition Case Manager
Heritage High School, Maryville, TN

Eric Massey, Wesley Rice Youth Advocate of the Year Award winner, – “The award means it’s important for me to teach others about inclusion and inclusive health and I want to keep doing it!”
