BBI’s mission—advancing the lives of people with disabilities—is made possible through our diverse collaborations and partnerships. We look forward to working together to positively impact people with disabilities.
Each of these partners has a unique set of experiences, research, and knowledge around disability and provide for creative solutions. BBI partners across disciplines at Syracuse University and other educational institutions as well as with public and private agencies. Separate we will not be able to solve the challenges facing people with disabilities. Together as partners we will bring about positive change.
If you are interested in collaborating with BBI, please contact Senior Advisor Michael Morris.
