DR GERTRUDE A BARBER CENTER INC
Making dreams come true for children and adults with disabilities and their families. We are "making dreams come true." We provide children and adults with autism, intellectual disabilities, and behavioral health challenges the education, support, and resources needed to be self-reliant, independent, and valued members of their community. VISION: At the Dr. Gertrude A. Barber National Institute, we believe that all persons have the capacity for growth and fulfillment, and to that end they must be afforded every opportunity to attain the greatest use of their potential within themselves and their community. PHILOSOPHY: All individuals are people of God, with feelings, emotions, needs and capabilities unique to these persons and their heritage. In a world where all persons differ, everyone should have the opportunity to develop to their fullest potential. We believe that all persons can learn, have the right to learn and must be provided with experiences for growth and development: spiritually, morally, aesthetically, socially, physically and educationally. We further believe that education is a continuing process from infancy through adulthood.
