Jonathan continues to provide trainings to many different audiences\, adapting each to the needs of the participants. \nHe is a four-time Commonwealth Pride in Performance award winner and recipient of the 2022 Governor Paul Cellucci Award for Leadership and Mentoring in State Government. He was also nominated for an Emmy by the New England Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for scriptwriting and directing “The Water Cooler” in 2002\, a public service announcement that visually represented hearing loss as an invisible barrier to inclusion. \nJonathan has provided countless trainings and provided technical assistance on communication access and communication technologies to national\, regional\, state and municipal entities. These include hospitals and medical facilities\, law enforcement and emergency service providers\, libraries\, colleges and universities\, and businesses ranging in size from family-owned enterprises to multinational corporations.
