School districts in Western Racine County are collaborating with the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) to host the Racine County Special Need Resource Fair on Tuesday, May 7, 2024, from 4:30 to 6:30 pm at Fox River Middle School in Waterford, Wisconsin. Enter Door #1.
This FREE resource fair provides information to families, caregivers, and educators who either have or work with anyone from birth to adulthood with a physical, cognitive, social, emotional, learning, developmental, or behavioral disability.
More than 70 agencies will be available to connect individuals with local, county, and state-wide disability services and resources. Available resources include: financial information, community-based therapies, respite opportunities, recreational ideas, job training, post-secondary education, mental health counseling, autism supports, living arrangements beyond the home, and more.
In addition to having an opportunity to ask questions and receive resource information, attendees can enter door prize drawings, receive a free tote bag, enjoy popcorn donated by Rojo’s Popcorn Wholesale, and have a hotdog, dessert, and water donated by Kwik Trip, with chips and other snacks and juice donated from Berkot's and Costco, while supplies last.
The resource fair will have a K9 unit and various emergency vehicles on site, along with a therapy horse acting as a greeter from SMILES when people arrive. A Spanish-speaking interpreter will also be available.
