Through a collaboration between Stavros, the Institute for Training and Development, and the State Department's Professional Fellows Program, an exchange Fellow from Morocco’s Ministry of Tourism is at Stavros in Amherst studying independent living models for people with disabilities, the Americans With Disabilities Act, and accessibility issues in public spaces.
Stavros was founded by Chris Palames and some of his friends in 1974. Bill Martin was one of those friends. In the early 1970’s people with disabilities had little or no opportunities to live in the community.
