October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), and we're celebrating the dedication, determination, and success of individuals like Kane!

Kane's journey toward employment began while developing his independent living skills through Community Habilitation services. With a strong desire to work, Kane continued building his skills and eventually applied for ACCES-VR services to help him reach his employment goals.

His persistence and motivation paid off! In January 2025, Kane was hired by SUNY Oswego Auxiliary Services, where he has become a valued member of the team.

Whether he's serving students, staff, and customers, restocking his station, maintaining food safety standards, or providing outstanding customer service, Kane approaches his work with a smile and a willingness to help wherever he's needed.

Through his hard work and continued growth, Kane recently transitioned to Extended Supported Employment (SEMP) services, marking another exciting milestone in his employment journey!

Kane's story is a wonderful reminder of what can happen when determination, opportunity, and the right supports come together.

Please join us in congratulating Kane on his accomplishments and celebrating the important contributions he makes to his workplace every day!

At Indera, we believe disability should never limit opportunity, and we're proud to support individuals like Kane as they pursue meaningful employment and greater independence.

Image Description: Kane stands smiling beside a stainless steel food service counter in a dining facility at SUNY Oswego. He is wearing glasses, a black chef-style work shirt, and black pants. One hand rests on the counter while he holds a small black item in the other. Behind him are food serving stations, stainless steel equipment, and a long tiled walkway extending through the dining area.
