Stronger Together
When the Sonoran Center for Excellence in Disabilities enters into a partnership with another organization, we strive to ensure that everything is done in the spirit of collaboration. Rather than imposing our own ideas of what works, we keep communication open at every opportunity so that our partners can best inform us of what they need, and we can work towards a solution together. Please visit the Sonoran Center for Excellence in Disabilities website to learn more about this partnership.
