SUGGESTION BOX - In an ongoing effort to enhance the quality of services and to be more responsive to consumer needs, TSE has established an electronic "suggestion box". All comments and ideas are welcome!!!
MATT: NATIONAL CELEBRITY! Matt Pickford's smiling face can be seen on billboards across the country. Matt is part of a nation-wide campaign by the National Down Synrome Congress. The ad campaign stresses that "we're more alike than different". Matt asks the question, "Who's got better moves on the dance floor, you or me?". The billboard shown on the photos above was on a bus in Seattle, WA. We're proud of you, Matt...and NO ONE has better moves than you!

TSE IN THE NEWS October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month. The Star Tribune carried two articles on the employment services provided by non-profits like TSE. Lynne Megan, President, shared the experiences of two businesses who have hired workers with disabilities through TSE's Community Employment Services, one of which (Corporate Express) was awarded the Arc of Minnesota Employer of the Year Award. Dan Rietz, Vice President, contributed to a Q & A article addressing strategies and supports for people with disabilities who are seeking employment.
