Joey Ramp-Adams has been an advocate and consultant for disability services with a focus on individuals with service dogs in science since 2011. She is a survivor of a traumatic accident in 2006 that resulted in 23-broken bones, a severe TBI and progressive cognitive decline and over 2-years worth of invasive surgeries. To rebuild her life she partnered with a service dog to rebuild her life. Her ability to connect with people with disabilities comes from her experience in developing her own management toolbox. Facing barriers and obstacles managing PTSD/TBI and with a service dog in science drove her to find and develop solutions that provide equal access and opportunities for service dog handlers in science. Her approach is non-judgmental and she applies her shared experience with understanding and compassion. Her goal is to help individuals build life skills over time that will empower them to manage their lives independently and with confidence.
As a Neuroscientist and a problem-solver with years of experience, she is passionate about developing innovative solutions for equal access to education and the workplace with a focus on, but not limited to, science and research. She shares her passion by helping others and designing solutions that empower people to reach their potential and realize their abilities.
Her focus and EACs team has expanded and moved beyond just academics now into building a more inclusive world – working in building design, accessibility and inclusion within the travel and entertainment industry.
Through years of experience working directly with people with disabilities and service dogs in academic institutions, science fields, and the workplace, Empower Ability Consulting, Inc. can help design workable solutions that produce positive outcomes.
