Hello, my name is Randy J. Berg

I am a Navy Vet who has been working at the WILL Center as their Front Desk Receptionist / Social Media specialist since April 2nd of 2012. I also serve as a Field Supervisor/Trainer for the Indiana State University Social Work Department undergraduate internship field program. I received my Bachelor’s in Social Work degree in December of 1992, after losing my sight in a motorcycle accident in March of 1987.

Being the first person you meet when you enter the WILL Center’s doors, I strive every day to maintain a positive and cheerful attitude. I enjoy brightening our consumer’s day when they visit the center. I come into the center each and every day with a smile on my face and singing a song. My love for music shines through in everything I do and that is why I sing out loud. I do this hoping to bring some joy to those that visit the center each day!

I also play several instruments and have been the lead singer for several local bands. I have two biological children that I raised, and numerous others I love and have raised like my own. I spend my spare time listening to music while surfing the internet. I also, enjoy spending time with my family. I also love to roller-skate and some of you might even remember me from my Terre Haute Skate Center Days.

Jared Price was born and raised in Terre Haute; IN. Jared was born 2 months premature with Cerebral Palsy and legally blind. Jared’s parents believed that Jared shouldn’t be treated differently due to his disability. They raised him just as they did his brother and sister. His parents raised him with the belief that he could accomplish anything he put his mind too. Jared feels he couldn’t ask for a better family and support system. They have been great role models and fierce advocates. Jared’s parents are very passionate people and made sure they learn all they could about their son’s various conditions. They began advocating for him to attend Riley Elementary with his brother Kevin. The School felt they were ill-equipped to handle someone with special needs. Plus, the School argued that he would need to take stairs to access their classrooms. Jared’s mom asserted that we have stairs in our home, and he navigates them without any problem. The school referred them to Covered Bridge Special Education District for evaluation. Jared’s parents enrolled him in Riley Elementary in 1991. He was the first student with disabilities to enroll in the School. Jared was a very friendly child and was quick to make many friends. He even got to hang out in the principal’s office and the two typed stories together. Today Riley Elementary has a thriving program for students with disabilities. Later in life, Jared attended and graduated from Terre Haute South Vigo High School in 2004. He graduated with an Academic Honors Diploma. He applied for college and was accepted to Vincennes University. Once there, he fell in love with History. He thought he might want to teach and then decided to transfer to Indiana State University. Jared graduated from Indiana State University in 2008 with a History degree.

Jared had worked for a few different employers after leaving college. He worked with Vocational Rehabilitation to learn how to use a long white cane for independent travel. Jared also worked with a job coach to enhance his job skills. Jared started volunteering at The Wabash Independent Living and Learning Center in July 2013. He obtained his first dog guide, Middleton, from Leader Dogs for the Blind in Michigan. Middleton made friends with everyone he met. Jared and Middleton transitioned to working at the Center full-time in March 2015 as the Youth Transition Coordinator.
