In 1972, Linda Weir-Enegren founded Rainbows United. She had little professional experience at the time and even less money. Her first class in the basement of Pleasant Valley United Methodist Church had five kids. In the 50 years since, the organization has become a leader in helping children with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and their families.
