ESU 6 Community Agency Night took place on Monday, March 24 at the ESU 6 main office in Milford. This was an evening where parents, guardians and young adults could meet and learn about agencies who work with people with disabilities throughout their lifespan. Postponed due to a spring blizzard, the community came together on the rescheduled date to offer support and services for families throughout the region.
The agencies and programs available to participate in the event were:
Autism Center of Nebraska
Nebraska Commision for the Blind and Visually Impaired
PTI-Nebraska
Vocational Rehabilitation
SE Nebraska ASD Network
Autism Society of Nebraska
Special Olympics
ARC of Lincoln
Early Development Network
League of Human Dignity
ESU6 CRAVE program
ESU6 SUCCESS program
In addition to networking with agencies, guests attended a virtual presentation by PTI-Nebraska and ESU 6 Transition Services, which focused on the Guided Application for Waiver Services, an essential resource for families navigating the transition process. Service providers, advocacy groups, and families shared a meal together, thanks to the generous support of Farmers and Merchants Bank of Milford. The bank provided pizza, fresh fruit, and cookies from the local Pizza Kitchen and welcomed attendees as they arrived.
