SAW Talks is the go-to podcast for issues concerning Northeast Ohio’s community of adults with developmental disabilities.
The podcast is produced by SAW Inc., a Cleveland, Ohio-based non-profit organization serving the needs of adults with developmental disabilities by offering vocational rehabilitation services, group employment and adult day service across six facilities.
This podcast will cover topics that are helpful to families of individuals and help create better awareness in the Greater Cleveland community about adults with developmental disabilities and their needs.
As a non-profit, SAW relies on volunteers to help carry out its work and mission of helping adults with developmental disabilities reach towards achieving their full potential.

They explain why it's rewarding and fun and why you should give it a chance too.
