Thanks to the Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental Disabilities, we will have the use of a universal adult changing table at the Buddy Walk.  A universal changing table is an adult-sized height adjustable changing table that is a resource for people with special self-care needs.  Please feel free to contact Barb Waddle with any questions at barbw@dsaneo.org.  Thank you CCBDD!
