What would you enjoy doing this month?

That's the question our founder, John Marvin, invites everyone to ask someone this October. Take time to hear their answer. Share an idea of your own. Where possible, make a plan together, and leave room to change it.

Our October newsletter is all about making room for one another. Inside, we celebrate two people who show what that looks like:

• Kim, our Empowered Star and Customer of the Month. Her advice to customers and providers: "Advocate for yourself as best as you can and remember to just have fun!"

• Cori, our featured DSP and Pillar of Empowerment. Cori joined the team in June 2025 and says the best part is "getting to know the individuals I support and being able to make a positive difference in their lives."

You'll also find a message from our CEO, Dylan Surrett, on Down Syndrome Awareness Month and mental health, tips for kind self-talk and building your own regulation toolkit, a pumpkin chocolate chip bread recipe and fall-leaf craft, and sensory-friendly outings and Halloween gatherings across Oregon.

🎉 September Wellness Survey Giveaway Winner! 🎉

A big congratulations to Susan, our September Wellness Survey Giveaway winner! 💙

Susan shared that one of her wellness goals is to spend more time outdoors and get in more walks. To support her wellness journey, we put together a cozy self-care basket filled with a soft blanket, water bottle, Liquid IV, mug, tea, face mask, two candles, and fuzzy socks. 🌿🚶‍♀️☕🧦🕯️✨

Wellness looks different for everyone, and sometimes the best way to care for yourself is simply getting outside, moving your body, and taking time to recharge.

Congratulations, Susan! We hope you enjoy every part of your wellness package! 🎁💙

🌟 Meet Heather, our September Empowered Star! 🌟

Heather reminds us that joy can be found in the everyday moments—going to the movies, spending time with family and friends, getting her hair and nails done, enjoying community activities, and simply being around people who care about her. 💛

Her advice? Get out, have fun, try new things, and enjoy the experiences available to you with your providers.

We’re proud to celebrate Heather and the joy, connection, and positivity she brings to the Empowered Services community. 💙

INDEPENDENCE DOESN’T ALWAYS LOOK THE WAY YOU THINK.

Independence doesn’t always mean doing everything on your own.

Sometimes, it looks like:

✨ Making a choice for yourself.
✨ Trying a task before asking for help.
✨ Speaking up about what you want.
✨ Learning a new skill.
✨ Having the confidence to say, “I can try.”

For people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, the goal isn’t to remove support.

It’s to provide the right support—the kind that creates opportunities to learn, participate, make choices, and grow.

Because sometimes, empowering someone means stepping back just enough to let them discover what they can do.

What does independence look like to you? Share with us below.
