People Over Paperwork — PathAble Newsletter, April 2026

Hi, Burt here!

Happy Spring! A new season brings both renewed energy and a clear vision for what's ahead at PathAble AI. AI is here to stay, and too many of today's solutions are built around our community rather than with it, retrofitting technology onto people instead of designing it alongside them.

At PathAble AI, we're making sure it works for our community, not around it.

PathAble AI was featured on my9!

I joined Mark Bonamo to talk about how AI can genuinely serve people with disabilities. Direct support staff are passionate, but 49% leave because progress stalls. PathAble is changing that.

Why Community Trust Is the Only Way Forward

I wrote an article on how AI is making it nearly impossible to distinguish real from fake. For many people with disabilities, who are already excluded from many trust networks, this isn't just a media literacy problem, but a direct threat to employment, housing, and economic survival. What's the answer? Not just better detection tools, but stronger human relationships.

Take our 3-Minute Survey

As employment service professionals, we know you juggle a lot, and some of the tasks are probably more painful than they need to be. We're on a mission to change that, but we need your insight first.

Apply to our pilot!

We're partnering with institutions across the full disability employment lifecycle, from School Transition and Higher Education to Non-Profits and more. In just one survey and one focus group, your organization will receive actionable intelligence you can actually use: a detailed findings report and a custom strategic roadmap for product development tailored to you.

Learn more about our AI training

Does your team trust AI, or just tolerate it? There's a difference. Our AI Training demystifies artificial intelligence, equipping direct professionals and staff with the knowledge to use AI intentionally, ethically, and effectively.
