The Faces of Syracuse recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Connor McGough, the Adaptive Design Coordinator at ARISE. ARISE Adaptive Design is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities, ensuring their active participation in daily activities and the pursuit of their dreams.
 
Navigating the complex landscape of disability services can be daunting but ARISE Adaptive Design is a program that challenges the lack of access to assistive equipment for those living with a disability through an individualized, affordable, community supported approach. Connor McGough, whose strong foundation in design, coupled with his resilience in overcoming a severe accident and disability, is at the heart of this innovative program.
