Empowering education: Janae's journey

With her unique personal and professional experience and dedication to helping others, Janae created “Conversation Cue Cards” also known as C3 For Me. These interactive and engaging cards provide a way for students with disabilities to participate meaningfully in their education by communicating their preferences, strengths, and interests to set and achieve attainable goals and plan for life after high school.
