My daughter’s social skills have come so far. She is not afraid to play with others now and is more comfortable socially. Her teachers are helping her to recognize her feelings too.
Since starting at Pearl Buck Preschool, my son's vocabulary has increased and he is able to express himself more. He's learning to share and make friends as well.
The 2026 Benefit Breakfast, Opening Doors, Creating Opportunities, will be held on Wednesday, July 15 at the Ford Alumni Center on the University of Oregon campus, bringing together community and business leaders for an inspiring morning in support of Pearl Buck Center. This annual event celebrates the individuals and families we serve while raising critical funds for our Adult Community Services and Preschool/Family Services. Through powerful stories and meaningful connections, the breakfast highlights how, together, we can open doors, create opportunities, and build a more inclusive community for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Registration is free and open. Check the Events tab for more information, Sponsorship opportunities and Registration.
