Robin Neher was born with cerebral palsy.

She understands the world was designed for the able body. But Neher doesn't let that stop her from enjoying life.

Stop by the Among Friends Activity Center any Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, and most likely, you will find Neher talking with her friends as she plays a board game.

"I'm with people who have similar issues," she said.

Neher uses a wheelchair, but she doesn't let her disability keep her from reaching goals. She graduated from Noble High School in 1991. She likes to grocery shop and attend church. She also lives in an apartment on her own.

Neher also knows she can't do everything.

"You have to acknowledge your limitations," she said.

She said at times, she can be pride-driven. She considers the staff and clients at Among Friends her support system.

"They always tell me if you need something, don't be afraid to ask," she said.

Neher said she found Among Friends about four years ago. A short time later, she decided she wanted to be independent and live by herself.

"I like the support because when I was looking for an apartment, they helped me," she said.

Among Friends Executive Director Cathe Fox said anyone with either physical or developmental disabilities is invited to the organization.

"Our main goal is we are just a place for people to come, get out of their homes, develop social skills and make friends," she said.

Fox opened Among Friends Activity Center in 2003.

"Since that time, we've served over 100 clients and families in the community," she said.
