Tracy Stanley is a force of nature. As the founder and executive director of The Counting Appreciation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting disability awareness and improving outcomes for people with disabilities, she has made it her mission to ensure that the voices of underrepresented communities are heard.

Stanley's own journey with disability began at birth, when she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Growing up, she faced numerous challenges and barriers, but she never let them define her. Instead, she used her experiences to fuel her passion for advocating for others.

The Counting Appreciation was born out of Stanley's desire to create a more inclusive world for people with disabilities. The organization's mission is to "promote disability awareness, educate the public, and advocate for the rights of people with disabilities." Through its programs and initiatives, The Counting Appreciation works to break down barriers and create opportunities for people with disabilities to reach their full potential.

One of The Counting Appreciation's most impactful programs is its "Count Me In" campaign. This campaign aims to raise awareness about the importance of including people with disabilities in all aspects of society. Through public service announcements, social media campaigns, and community events, "Count Me In" challenges stereotypes and promotes the message that people with disabilities are valuable members of our communities.

Another important program offered by The Counting Appreciation is its "Disability Awareness Training." This training provides participants with the knowledge and skills they need to interact with people with disabilities in a respectful and inclusive manner. The training covers a wide range of topics, including disability etiquette, communication strategies, and best practices for creating accessible environments.

In addition to its programs, The Counting Appreciation also advocates for政策changes that will improve the lives of people with disabilities. Stanley has testified before Congress on several occasions, and she has worked with policymakers to develop legislation that promotes inclusion and accessibility.

Stanley's work has had a profound impact on the lives of countless people with disabilities. She is a tireless advocate for underrepresented voices, and she is a role model for everyone who believes in the power of inclusion.
