Yesterday in Duluth, Minnesota, the 2026 Law Enforcement Torch Run kicked off, along with MDI Udac was proud to be part of the energy and excitement.
We loved connecting with our partners and community members as the torch made its way through our city, celebrating inclusion, determination, and the power of unified support.

As we look ahead to the USA Games in Minneapolis, our athletes are ready to compete, inspire, and show what courage truly looks like on the big stage.
Let’s go, Minnesota - Stop by and Visit Udac at the games. Let the games begin!

Udac was proud to have a strong presence at the Minnesota Organization for Habilitation and Rehabilitation, MOHR Conference this year, participating in three separate presentations highlighting innovation with the Udac Internship and our Socially Assistive Robot; Nao, community inclusion, and the future of disability services.
We are also excited to celebrate Karen Herman, who was honored with the MOHR Inspire Award—a well-deserved recognition of her leadership and vision.
The feedback from fellow providers said it all:
💬 “Are you going to come and teach your program to our employees?”
💬 “How is it that all the smart people are working at Udac?”

We’re grateful for the opportunity to share our work and collaborate with partners across the state who are equally committed to advancing opportunities and outcomes.
