DISABLING BARRIERS Thanks to a Disabling Barriers grant, and a generous donor, we are now providing scholarships specifically for travel and accommodations for people with disabilities and their families within the Southern Colorado area (see map below). Disabling Barriers aims to support youth and young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities from southern Colorado. This grant will help us continue our Access for All rate and support travel and respite for families, a renovated sensory/quiet room, and additional training for our amazing instructors and volunteers. Included in the award is funding for a limited number of travel stipends for qualifying families. Our hope is that these stipends will help make travel to Crested Butte more affordable by giving $150 per day of programming per family to assist with expenses such as gas, lodging, and meals during your stay in Crested Butte. Our goal is to make the process as simple as possible. We will not ask for receipts but do request signed confirmation of receipt of funds. To qualify for the Disabling Barriers stipend, a participant must: Be diagnosed with an intellectual and/or developmental disability, including autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, fetal alcohol syndrome, etc. Reside in one of the following Colorado counties: Alamosa, Archuleta, Baca, Bent, Chaffee, Cheyenne, Conejos, Costilla, Crowley, Custer, Delta, Dolores, Douglas, Elbert, El Paso, Fremont, Hinsdale, Huerfano, Kiowa, Kit Carson, Lake, La Plata, Las Animas, Lincoln, Mesa, Mineral, Montezuma, Montrose, Otero, Ouray, Park, Pitkin, Prowers, Pueblo, Rio Grande, Saguache, San Juan, San Miguel, Teller Must be under the age of 30 and participate in at least one day of programming with the ASC.
