Scott Putnam, who has Cerebral Palsy, travels to Massachusetts schools giving students a chance to get up close and ask questions, to understand more about people with disabilities. "The Center for Living and Working has been instrumental in helping me establish my independence both personally and professionally. Through CLW, I established a program we call 'Let Them Ask' where we visit with young students who aren't disabled. During this time together we let them stare, let them wonder, let them ask, and let them learn. It's an awesome experience."

"My visit to CLW was most helpful and instructive. I just lost my husband and didn't realize how truly deaf I was without him. He always answered the phone and the doorbell. Suddenly I couldn't hear them but with my new specialized equipment from CLW, I feel much safer. CLW is truly performing a much needed service for those of us who are deaf or hard of hearing." -Catherine, one of CLW's consumers.
