He has litigated multiple adult guardianship cases on behalf of individuals with developmental and psychiatric disabilities including the appellate decision of Guardianship of Muellner v. Blessing Hospital, which prevents guardians from compelling wards with mental illnesses into nursing homes against their wishes. Director Lowy served as an adjunct professor at SIU School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry from 2002 to 2012 and is a member of the Illinois State Bar Association’s Disability Law Committee.

This group will be led by professional live musical theater actor, Jacob Hoffman and a staff member. “Each class, we will spend time celebrating and learning more about America’s greatest invention: Musical Theater.
Participants will explore musicals and their connection to other forms of entertainment. How does the Wizard of Oz influence its modern sibling, The Wiz? How do modern movie musicals borrow from their live counterparts? We will travel from musical theater’s infancy in the 1940s all the way to today’s hits, with fun trivia, guest appearances, and scene study sprinkled in along the way.
Writing exercises, small group sharing, in-session viewings, and Zoom sing-a-longs will make for a time you won’t soon forget!” Jacob

Heather increased their ability to access and benefit from a variety of funding, services, and supports. From transition skills goal banks to curriculums, resources, and Illinois benefit guides, A Love for Special Learning aims to meet the needs of and empower educators, families, and modern-day students alike.

SSI and SSDI: When to Apply, Who Qualifies, How They Differ, and How to Take Advantage of Both
A former Special Education high school and transition teacher of 15 years, Heather Riggs developed ‘A Love for Special Learning’ to support both educators and families. In addition to teaching, Heather supported families and students as they developed their vision for life post-exit and walked alongside them as they applied for benefits to make their dreams a reality. By making the overly complicated world of benefits easier to understand for families and young adults. Heather increased their ability to access and benefit from a variety of funding, services, and supports. From transition skills goal banks to curriculums, resources, and Illinois benefit guides, A Love for Special Learning aims to meet the needs of and empower educators, families, and modern-day students alike.

Participants will explore musicals and their connection to other forms of entertainment. How does the Wizard of Oz influence its modern sibling, The Wiz? How do modern movie musicals borrow from their live counterparts? We will travel from musical theater’s infancy in the 1940s all the way to today’s hits, with fun trivia, guest appearances, and scene study sprinkled in along the way.
Writing exercises, small group sharing, in-session viewings, and Zoom sing-a-longs will make for a time you won’t soon forget!” Jacob

This group will be led by professional live musical theater actor, Jacob Hoffman and a staff member. “Each class, we will spend time celebrating and learning more about America’s greatest invention: Musical Theater.
Participants will explore musicals and their connection to other forms of entertainment. How does the Wizard of Oz influence its modern sibling, The Wiz? How do modern movie musicals borrow from their live counterparts? We will travel from musical theater’s infancy in the 1940s all the way to today’s hits, with fun trivia, guest appearances, and scene study sprinkled in along the way.
Writing exercises, small group sharing, in-session viewings, and Zoom sing-a-longs will make for a time you won’t soon forget!” Jacob
