The Barber National Institute, based in Erie, Pennsylvania, provides services to people with intellectual disabilities, autism, and behavioral health challenges. Founded in 1952 by Dr. Gertrude A. Barber, it began as a small school for children with intellectual disabilities and has since evolved into a statewide organization. The organization serves individuals, their families, and the professionals who support them, aiming to help people belong and reach their full potential. Its footprint includes facilities and programs across multiple campus locations, reflecting a broad regional presence. In June 2026, the organization opened a newly renovated pool and natatorium, marking a notable facility expansion.
