We were glad to join our funded partner, Project CU, Inc., for a ribbon-cutting and celebration of the opening of its newly expanded clean room.

The project increases Project CU’s medical processing space by 65% and was made possible through support from the Missouri Department of Education Extended Employment Program and a $24,000 grant from DD Resources.

This expansion will help Project CU continue creating meaningful employment opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Today, DD Resources staff visited the Missouri History Museum to see firsthand several new accessibility improvements made possible through DD Resources funding.

An $18,000 grant supported the installation of a new universal changing table in the family restroom, along with accessible door openers in two additional restrooms, helping make the museum more welcoming and accessible for visitors of all abilities.

Thank you to the Missouri History Museum for your continued partnership and commitment to creating a more accessible community for everyone!

The Missouri History Museum is hosting a Sensory-Friendly Evening on Wednesday, September 2, from 5:00–7:30 p.m.

The evening is designed for individuals and families who benefit from a calmer, more sensory-friendly museum experience. Reduced noise, smaller crowds and other accommodations can help make it easier for visitors with autism, sensory-processing differences, developmental or intellectual disabilities, anxiety, ADHD, neurological conditions, or dementia to explore and enjoy the museum.

Families and caregivers are welcome to attend and experience the museum together in a more comfortable setting.

Registration is required. Learn more and register here:

DD Resources Board and staff members recently attended Starkloff Disability Institute’s Open House, where we had the opportunity to learn more about SDI’s work to advance disability inclusion across our community.

The event offered a closer look at SDI’s disability-led programs, which support people with disabilities in building confidence, skills, and career opportunities from the classroom through professional life.

We appreciated the chance to connect with the SDI team, meet new staff members, and learn more about the work happening across the organization.

Thank you to Starkloff Disability Institute for welcoming us!

We are proud to celebrate Creative Vocations artist Farah, who recently shared her talents and creativity by teaching a beadwork class at the Saint Louis Art Museum. Through her artistry and leadership, Farah demonstrated that artists with disabilities are not only creators; they are educators, mentors, and valued contributors to our community.

This opportunity is a powerful example of what happens when organizations come together to expand access, inclusion, and recognition for artists of all abilities.

Our Creative Vocations program, supported by the St. Louis Office for Developmental Disability Resources, empowers artists to build professional skills, grow confidence, develop their creative careers, and share their talents with the broader community.

Thank you to our partners who believe in the power of creativity, inclusion, and opportunity. Together, we are changing the way the world sees artists with disabilities.
