At Fello, our 2Gen approach is person-centered while still recognizing the important role families and communities play in influencing the services and supports people need. In this episode of Fello Thinking Differently, our original podcast, we explore how our 2Gen approach complements our philosophy of person-centeredness and ensures families have the tools and resources they need. Jessica Sauers, Director of 2Gen Initiatives, shares how Fello’s approach strengthens outcomes for children, adults, their families, and our communities while keeping the person at the center of every decision.

Person-centeredness isn’t just a talking point—it’s how we show up every single day. It’s about creating space for people to live the lives they want with the support they need to get there. In this episode, we dig into this foundational principle of disability rights and services with Matt Morgan, Chief Program Officer at Fello. Matt brings decades of experience to this thoughtful conversation about what it really means to put people first in every situation. Together, we explore how Fello thinks differently about the services we provide for people with disabilities, and how our vision of inclusive communities for all is quickly becoming a reality.

Stories have power. The right conversation can spark change. That’s the purpose behind Fello Thinking Differently — our new podcast where we amplify voices that change how we think about inclusion, community, and belonging. It’s a space for real talk with people who are reimagining what community can be — and taking action to make it happen. Each episode features honest conversations with Fello’s bold thinkers.
