When the economy is rough, people with disabilities need more support than ever.

SBI Moves into New Home at 60 Daggett Drive
At the end of July, SBI moved into a larger facility at 60 Daggett Drive, two blocks from its former site. Thanks to FedEx, we are happy to report that our clients did not miss one day of program. And, thanks to Cisco, Adobe and Comcast, we have donated furniture, equipment and some infrastructure to accommodate most of the needs of our clientele, including Veterans returning from service to our Country. The new facility has approximately 6,000 square feet of additional space that will allow SBI to expand program services in a campus-like environment with more movement. It will also provide SBI with the opportunity to meet the emerging needs of soldiers re-entering the community.

SBI Presents at CARF International Conference in Tucson, Arizona
SBI was asked to be a presenter at CARF's 2008 International Conference in Tucson, Arizona. During our November, 2006, accreditation survey, SBI received an exemplary rating in the area of continuum of services - a rating that is awarded sparingly.
Because of this, SBI was asked to present on how it developed its Continuum, one that can be a model for other organizations throughout the USA. Programs Director, Angela Lucero, and Program Development Director, Sonya Meza, presented on behalf of SBI and received lots of positive feedback.
