Daniela Morse, Executive Director of the Merrimac-based Shared Living Collaborative (SLC), will visit “The Morning Show” on Thursday, May 26th.
Host Mary Jacobsen will talk with Morse about the innovative approach she takes to providing services to and building sustainable communities for persons living with disabilities.
“We believe everyone, regardless of the challenges encountered, has the right to “live a ‘life like any other’ – a life defined by purpose, contribution, social connections and meaningful employment in harmony with nature and the community,” Morse says.
Morse advocates for moving away from “medicalizing disability,” which emphasizes the use of medications, toward creating opportunities for people with different abilities to develop and utilize their strengths.
To that end, SLC community members grow and sell organic vegetables on their farm; operate a carpentry studio that builds beautiful, high-end pieces; and offer therapeutic riding, among other endeavors.
