Description

This poster illustrates how the University of Cincinnati UCEDD and the Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome Support Group worked together to move from quarterly meetings at the hospital for medical information to a support group that is active in the community, enjoys activities in inclusive settings and in which members engage in research and information dissemination to other families. Support group members are empowered and feel a sense of belonging.
