   ESO Dances!

ESO Dances (Expanding Sociability Opportunities) are a fun way for young adults with developmental disabilities and college student volunteers to get to know one another. By highlighting sociability, the dances make a positive difference in the lives of young adults and their same-age peers. ESO Dances promote awareness, understanding, and acceptance of people with a variety of special needs.

 


   THE 21+ CLUB!

THE 21+ CLUB is an advocacy group of parents, caregivers and other persons interested in the needs of adults with developmental disabilities. Monthly meetings (1) explore life issues that affect families and adults, (2) educate legislators to the unmet needs of adults to secure the funding necessary to meet their lifelong needs, and (3) develop sociability opportunities for adults in home and community settings.

For more information on ESO Dances and THE 21+ CLUB, please contact Family Support Services at the Dr. Gertrude A. Barber National Institute @ 814-878-5905.
