Supporting inclusive treatment of disabled youth + adults across Birmingham

Before we get into the Mardi Gras fun, here’s a look at who this event supports—Easterseals of the Birmingham Area. 

When you attend Mardi Gras on the Mountain, you’re supporting Easterseals’ goal of promoting inclusive treatment of disabled youth and adults in the Birmingham community.

A key part of their mission is a job placement program where disabled adults are placed in entry-level roles to help them build the skills and confidence needed to thrive in the workforce.

With the help of Easterseals, disabled individuals are empowered through:

• Job placement, vocational evaluation and transitional programs for disabled adults + teens
• Pediatric therapy assisting speech, sensory needs, feeding, fine motor skills + more
• Support for teens with disabilities to complete their driver’s permit test
• Spanish translation services for Hispanic participants
