Supporter Stories

We love hearing how Equip is making a difference for teams across the country.

Here’s what Lauren Ozment, Advanced Employment Coordinator at Auburn EAGLES, shared about her experience with Equip’s Forms:

“I had some time to play around with Forms today, and OH MY WORD! The game has changed! I was hesitant at first, but I added four of our employment forms to the forms section, and this will drastically help us!

Before, all of these were in different places and saved on different platforms, and now they are all together and MORE USER-FRIENDLY. I think that’s the best part about Equip—it makes the admin’s life easier and decreases the stress of completing something for any user involved, disability or not.”
