Barber National Institute Deaf/Hard of Hearing Preschool

Mission
We are "making dreams come true." We provide children and adults with autism, intellectual disabilities, and behavioral health challenges and their families the education, support, and resources needed to be self-reliant, independent, and valued members of their community. In addition, we provide the professionals who serve them with world-class education and training.

Our Guiding Philosophy
All individuals are people of God, with feelings, emotions, needs, and capabilities unique to these persons and their heritage. In a world where all persons differ, everyone should have the opportunity to develop to their fullest potential.

We believe that all persons can learn, have the right to learn, and must be provided with experiences for growth and development: spiritually, morally, aesthetically, socially, physically, and educationally. We further believe that learning is a continuous process from infancy through adulthood.

At the Barber National Institute, we believe that all persons have the capacity for growth and fulfillment, and to that end, they must be afforded every opportunity to attain the greatest use of their potential within themselves and their community.

It is our Vision that persons who have an interest in seeking employment are afforded supports to develop and enhance their employment skills and opportunities to obtain competitive and integrated community employment.
