About the event
Breakout 3: Working Towards a More Inclusive Community for People and Families Living with Disabilities
This presentation will highlight various collaborative projects in Charlestown aimed at creating a more inclusive community for people and families living with disabilities. Under the leadership of Dr. Treva Hodges, the Parks Department makes accommodations for many of the children's events such as the Easter Egg Hunt, Christmas train rides with Santa, and providing an ASL interpreter for the annual city's tree lighting event this year. Learn how a collaboration with Outward Bound Support Services, a local disability service provider, increased opportunities for residents in this rural community.
