Totally Linked : A TotalLink Podcast

Welcome to Totally Linked : the podcast! This podcast is produced by TotalLink2 Community. TotalLink2 Community is a Northbrook-based nonprofit that helps individuals living with intellectual and developmental disabilities ages 18 years or older and their families in the north suburbs of Chicago. They offer a wide range of person-centered services that promote employment, independence, and strong social connections in their home communities. Their mission is to help adults with disabilities be fully included members of the North Shore community through employment, social opportunities, and lifelong learning. Community connections and meaningful relationships create a sense of belonging that benefits both people with disabilities and the communities to which they belong. Their programs are designed to get young adults with disabilities in their community and deepen and expand their social connections. This brings us to our podcast! There is a saying, “if you know one person with a disability, you now know one person with a disability.” Each of us couldn't be more different but we share the need for activity, community, and connection. In our podcast, you’ll hear from TotalLink self-advocates who will give unique perspectives, entertaining stories, insight, and wisdom from their individual perspectives. We think you’ll see a lot of yourself in our stories and learn that we are all… Totally Linked. Reach out, love deep, and link up with Totally Linked
