Good Life Ambassadors teach others to understand, approach people with disabilities, Spectrum News 1

CLEVELAND — A lot of people without disabilities may not know how to interact with people who do have disabilities.

To raise awareness for the disability community and teach those outside of it how to approach and interact with them, the Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental Disabilities put together a team of four people, called Good Life Ambassadors (GLAs), who travel to schools or other events to show that, in many ways, people with disabilities really aren’t that different from everyone else. 

“I love being able to serve the disability community,” Breanna Sprenger, 22-year-old GLA, said. “And I love being able to educate others on disability awareness and disability etiquette.”

Sprenger was born without either of her legs and one of her arms and said it was sometimes hard to fit in when she was growing up.
