echoingU, the answer to educational uncertainty!

Education…we think that looks the same for most everyone, but for some with disabilities, education can look a lot different. Where do I go from high school, will I fit in at college, what if I don’t? echoingU of Southwest Ohio is bridging the gap between high school and college. Even if college is not in the future for some, echoingU teaches life skills, social interaction and living essentials for individuals to lead long, happy, fulfilling lives. Education takes many forms, echoingU is truly a unique and beneficial learning experience.

Below is a beautiful story by Armani, who now knows he will be just fine thanks to what he’s learned and how he’s grown at echoingU!

Armani’s Journey!

My name is Armani and I have been attending echoingU for 3 years. EchoingU has really taught me to be a better person and to learn the skills I need to live a happy life. My favorite classes are job skills, Independent living, and recreational classes like Just Dance. We also volunteer to help others in the community like The Dayton Food Bank, Stillwater Church, and The Humane Society of Greater Dayton. Volunteering helps me improve upon my communication skills and builds my resume.

The echoingU program has contributed to a growth in my self-esteem. To me this means I can see myself accomplishing goals like getting a job and moving out on my own. Before coming to this program those are goals I thought were impossible but now I find it POSSIBLE! EchoingU has turned my life around. My friends and echoingU staff help me through my struggles. I can count on them to help me do better in life. We are a family here, a home away from home.

 

Love. Learn. Worship.
