Creating Inclusive Communities: Jason Eichenholz's Vision for Empowering Adults with Disabilities

Celebrations Chatter with Jim McCann

Join us as we sit down with Jason Eichenholz, founder of Jonathan's Landing, to discuss his vision for creating an inclusive community for adults with developmental disabilities. Jason shares his personal journey as a parent of a child on the autism spectrum, and how it inspired him to develop this innovative concept. They explore Jonathan's Landing's mission to provide meaningful employment, housing, and social opportunities for individuals with special needs, a cause that Jim is also deeply invested in through his nonprofit, Smile Farms. Joined by Smile Farms’ Chief Growth Officer Anthony Porcelli, the conversation highlights the importance of creating sustainable models that can be replicated globally, the role of technology in enhancing independence, and how businesses can contribute to this impactful initiative. Tune in for an inspiring discussion on building a more inclusive future and addressing this community’s critical need for support in adulthood.
