Noah is a participant in Anixter Center's ACT (Adult Community Transition) Program. He LOVES it! He is out in the community every day, doing important volunteer work, like Meals on Wheels. He exercises at the "Y" in Northbrook or walks the track in Glenview or Highland Park, he has lunch out with his friends, and he patronizes local businesses.
The program staff is outstanding and Anixter Center managment is supportive.
Noah has said that he cannot imagine life with ACT. Many of his long time friends are also part of the program and he has met and made many new friends. There is a sense of community, a sense of self-worth and continued growth and learning at ACT.

I'm reviewing Annixter Center's website for accessibility. Their site is very accessible with the System Access screen reader, and I'm assuming other screen readers work well too on this site. The reason is that the site appears to be text-based. My only problem is that there is an unlabeled link at the bottom of the page. When I clicked this link, I was taken to the website for a restaurant which appears to be a partner of Annixter Center.

Anixter needs to screen their employees more carefully and do on the job monitoring to make sure that the job description is being followed.
