It's back-to-school time, and we are celebrating our own teachers at Starkey. They may have other titles like trainer or specialist, but they absolutely teach and model new skills every day. Thank you to all of the teachers in our lives! #LifelongLearning #RoleModels #Support

We are grateful for the volunteers who help keep our group homes looking nice through the Adopt-A-Home program. With close to 40 homes in the Wichita area, it takes a lot of willing hands! #CommunityVolunteers #SupportedLiving

We had a blast at the Frontiers in Flight Air Show at McConnell AFB on Saturday! We got to meet Jose Pulgarin and Hector Viramontes from the U.S. Navy Blue Angels team and see their thrilling air acrobatics. It was an unforgettable experience!

For individuals who live in Starkey homes, being able to engage in favorite activities is very important - like the monthly dance sponsored by AbilityPoint at Club Rodeo. We always have a great time, thanks to trainers who provide transportation/support throughout the evening.

ShaCorrie had a goal of making fried chicken. "I asked her about things she likes to do, and she said she likes cooking," said Ashley, her trainer. They worked together to make chicken, and ShaCorrie offered some to her friends. These are the joy-filled moments we live for!
