TheaterWe offer two inclusive theater companies where adults 18+ come together to create original one-act musicals. We serve adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities and autism. Our seasons are 7 months long and culminate with a performance at McDaniel Theater. |
SocialBarrier-Free offers a monthly social club outing for adults 18+ with intellectual/developmental disabilities and autism. Social club outings change each month and vary in cost. These are staffed events with the goal of building friendship and developing independent life skills. |
Self-AdvocacyThrough our classes and workshops, adults 18+ with intellectual/developmental disabilities and autism learn and practice self-advocacy skills. Self-advocacy skills translate to all areas of life including the workplace, home, friendships, and more. |
Barrier-Free began with a desire to fill a need in the community, a need for an inclusive, creative space to enhance the life quality of one of our most underserved populations, adults with disabilities.
Our mission is to provide inclusive art, self-advocacy, and social programming for adults with disabilities in the community. Barrier-Free's inclusive design brings together people of all abilities to create, express, and achieve together.
