Bringing Awarenessand Inspiration to the Community
With over 60 million people experiencing some type
of disability in the United States today, disability
ultimately impacts all of our lives, from our relatives
to our peers to ourselves.
At Quantum Rehab®, we’re dedicated to supporting
the success of those with disabilities in all of life’s
aspects. Through Quantum Speak Out, a community
outreach and disability awareness program, our goal
is to help promote the importance of embracing
diversity in the community at large, encouraging the
success of all abilities.
