Aaron is a Numotion Assistive Technology Professional. In 2015, Aaron joined Team Numotion as a Service Technician after previously working as a customer service representative at Kroger. “I heard about the service tech job through the service manager.  I knew how to turn a wrench and one of my strengths is problem-solving so he asked me to come aboard and help him out. I had no idea what would come of it, but it was honestly one of the best decisions I have made in my life,” said Aaron.

When asked to describe the circumstances surrounding the accident, he stated, “The water was the last place I would have expected a spinal cord injury like mine to occur. That said, one careless dive changed my life forever and at approximately 3 am on the morning of August 10th, 2003, I became a C 6/7 quadriplegic.”

Lauren has always had a passion for working with individuals with complex communication needs. “I believe that everyone should have a way to share their voice, their thoughts, and have a way to communicate independently. Working in this role allows me to help so many individuals to do that! The best thing about my job is seeing someone able to communicate in a way they could not before. I love hearing from an SLP or a parent who says their client/child has been able to communicate something that they have never been able to say before!”

Jill has a personal connection to Numotion that has impacted her perspective of her role at Numotion. Her sister-in-law was diagnosed with ALS in 2013. Watching her and her brother through that journey changed her outlookon many things.  “I was so grateful at that time to be working for Numotion, it gave me a purpose.  Many times during these types of situations you want to help, but don’t know what to do or say. This was my opportunity to take something that I do every day and use it to help my family. Through this I realized how important the role of a caregiver is, and how important it is that we listen to their needs as well as the patient.  I have come out of this experience understanding that the people we serve are not just those that are confined to the chair,” said Jill.
