Chrysalis: nothing is out of reach.
Self advocacy
Founding member
Kevin has come a long way since going through Human Centered Design (HCD) in 2018. He has accomplished so much and is an inspiration to everyone here at Chrysalis. When Kevin went through HCD, he wanted to participate in all the planning meetings and idea brainstorming. He was one of the first people to show such enthusiasm for HCD and was a huge advocate for the program.
Kevin now has the tools to explore relationships through shared activities and when difficulties arise, he has a plan for getting the support he needs. A founding member of the “Self Advocacy Group” at Chrysalis, Kevin has been awarded the HCD Champion Award at the 2021 Chrysalis annual achievement awards ceremony.
