Families of individuals with Down syndrome can connect on Saturday with about 30 service providers offering education, employment, legal, medical, financial and social resources at Club 21 Learning and Resource Center’s annual Resource Fair.
The three-hour event, part of Club 21’s monthly Second Saturday programming, concentrates vendors that families of individuals with developmental disabilities typically must seek out individually [CORRECTED from “often spend months locating individually”] — from Pasadena law firms to healthcare nonprofits to employment agencies — into a single morning at the organization’s North Lake Avenue location.
Club 21, founded in 2009, serves families of individuals with Down syndrome in the greater Los Angeles area. The organization’s stated mission is to provide educational tools and resources that enable individuals with Down syndrome to be fully included, according to the Club 21 website.
Vendors span six categories. Education providers include the Center for Developing Kids, Justine Sherman Speech, Recess Therapy and the State Council on Developmental Disabilities, among others. Employment resources include New Horizons and Tierra del Sol, and legal services will be offered by Hahn and Hahn LLP and Vanaman German LLP, according to the Club 21 website.
