Stand Up, Inc. began offering supported employment in Southwest Virginia at the beginning of February 2014. Stand Up is  a service provider for the Department of Aging and Rehabilitative Services (DARS) and will be working with their offices in Wytheville, Marion and Galax. Stand Up will be expanding their services to include Abingdon, Pounding Mill and Norton Virginia in the near future. 

For most of us, going to work is among the ways we define ourselves.  The same holds true for people with disabilities. They would like to work, and make contributions to society too.

Generally, disabilities will not have an affect on the work they do or prevent them from becoming great employees. Particularly if accommodations can be made that will enable the employee to perform at their highest possible potential.
