The Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development's expansion project reached a pivotal moment as 10-year-old Isaiah Martin, a Schreiber client diagnosed with osteogenesis imperfecta type 3, became the first client passenger on the newly installed elevator by Benchmark Construction, following its state inspection and certification.

Isaiah, the center's resident elevator enthusiast, was entrusted with the responsibility of inspecting the elevator to guarantee its flawless operation. Despite the challenges posed by his condition, Isaiah checked off every element on the inspector's checklist provided by Benchmark Construction.

The checklist consisted of essential elements such as functioning lights, operational buttons, seamless opening and closing of doors, and a smooth up-and-down motion. Isaiah's signature on the inspection form signifies not just an approval of the elevator's functionality but also Schreiber's commitment to providing its clients with a safe and inclusive environment where they may grow and thrive. Isaiah's role in the inspection process exemplifies the core values of the Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development, where every individual's passion and contribution are acknowledged and celebrated, regardless of challenges faced.
