My Interview with Fred Hobbs and Imagine!Colorado

In this episode I’ll be speaking with Fred Hobbs, Director of Public Relations for Imagine, Colorado for over 18 years.  Imagine! was established in 1963 and provides services designed to incorporate people with developmental, cognitive, and physical challenges into the fabric of their communities. Services include educational and therapeutic services, job training and placement, recreation and leisure activities, opportunities for community living, behavioral health services, technology solutions, and support for families.  

After our discussion we will turn our attention specifically to the music program and feature performances from their band, Imagine!Nation, followed by an interview with some of the members of the band.  This is a delightful and inspiring expose of an organization that shines its light on disabled individuals with so much to offer and treats them with the same respect and appreciation that we all deserve no matter who we are.
