Guild for Exceptional Children salutes workers for helping disabled people
A Bay Ridge-based social services agency that provides assistance to developmentally disabled people found a special way to take part in a nationwide salute to professionals who work hand in hand with the disabled.
The Guild for Exceptional Children (GEC) celebrated National Direct Support Professionals Week by hosting a reception at its headquarters at 260 68th St. on Sept. 11 to honor 14 workers who provide compassionate care to the children and adults enrolled in GEC programs.
National Direct Support Professionals Week was celebrated across the country from Sept. 10 to Sept. 16.
