Mosaic in Western Iowa 217 E. 7th St., P.O. Box 153 About Us Mosaic in Western Iowa has been providing services since 1989. The agency's first home was built in Logan in 1989. In 1992, Mosaic purchased two existing homes in Logan and began providing services to more individuals with special needs. In 1993, the agency built two six-person Intermediate Care Facilities in Denison. In 2002, the agency assumed operations of the Pottawattamie County Care Facility and has since expanded services in Council Bluffs to provide Supported Community Living services on an intermittent basis to persons living in the community. Thank You to Push America!
On July 15, 2009 Mosaic welcomed Push America and their Journey of Hope to their Council Bluffs facility. Push America consists of a group of guys from the fraternity Pi Kappa Phi from universities all over the United States. They join together for 64 days riding their bicycles across America stopping to do Friendship visits with people with disabilities. When they stopped at Mosaic, they made friends with the people we serve and put on a puppet show. The puppets showed us how we can all be friends with those who have disabilities and that people who have a disability can do so much more than what we expect. |  |

Mosaic held a project with Zion Lutheran School called "Disability for a Day" on March 18 to recognize National Developmental Disability Awareness Month and to educate children about inclusion and respecting individuals who have disabilities. During the day, children from 6-8 grade experienced what having a disability was like and then had the opportunity to enter in an essay contest where they wrote about how they felt and what they learned during the day. Many great essays were reviewed and you can read the top three winning essays here. 1st Place: Samantha Greder "My Day With A Disability" 2nd Place: Demi Yeager, 8th grade "Inclusion" 3rd Place: Joel Yeager, 8th grade "Treat Others Equally" Read the article about the the Disability for a Day project from the Denison Bulletin Review.
