ALLSTON, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — An organization that houses dozens of capuchin monkeys is asking for the public’s help after a recent flooding. Envisioning Access, formerly known as Helping Hands: Monkey Helpers, used to train and provide service monkeys to people living with physical disabilities such as spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, and ALS.
Our office has been struck by a devastating flood, rendering it not only uninhabitable but also unsafe for both the animals and humans we serve and work alongside. This flood has caused extensive damage to our infrastructure, equipment, and supplies, crippling our ability to effectively carry out our vital mission.

Executive Director Diane Nahabedian joins Tommy DiMisa on Philanthropy in Phocus to discuss the work of Envisioning Access, a Boston-based 501c3 that is developing, in conjunction with tech start-ups and universities, innovative technologies like AR/VR, robotics, AI for those living with physical disabilities. Started in 1979, the organization has recently undergone a dynamic transformation from a service animal model to establishing an Innovative Technology Initiative.
At Envisioning Access, we are dedicated to working with individuals living with physical disabilities. Throughout our forty-five-year history, we have seen assistive technology for the disability community adapt and improve as technology and innovation advance. We value the work of the robotics, augmented reality, virtual reality, and AI industries in these efforts. We are excited to work alongside them to develop new technologies to help individuals with physical disabilities live more independent and engaged lives.
