Our Story
Our founders Tara Beatty, a special education teacher, and Keri Climie, a speech and language pathologist created the non-profit Sound Life Connections Inc. with the mission of providing employment and social training for young adults with disabilities. The WAVE is the next step in this journey. WAVE stands for Work, Advocate, Value, and Empower. We believe in creating a supportive environment where every individual can thrive.
WAVE is dedicated to empowering young adults with disabilities by providing them with valuable job experience. Our mission is to foster independence and confidence, helping each individual to reach their full potential in the workplace. Join us in creating a supportive community that champions inclusivity and growth for all. Together, we can make a difference!
