Welcome to the 3rd edition of My Life Now.
After a successful decade as a print magazine, The Community Living Education Project (CLEP) is thrilled to re-launch this publication in an online format.
Our mission with this publication remains the same: to spotlight individuals who have transitioned from developmental centers, nursing homes, or family homes to vibrant community settings. We celebrate their journeys of empowerment and self-discovery and share how they have embraced choice and control in their lives.
In this edition, we shine a spotlight on the strength and determination of a mother and son. Gabrielle and Harry Nitti overcame many obstacles and never lost hope that Harry would find a permanent home where he could thrive.
