We serve adults with intellectual and physical disabilities by offering a broad spectrum of activities indoors and outdoors. Since we began the program in 2008, our goal has been to provide meaningful activities that focus on the development and growth in each person’s chosen areas of interest. Participants can shape their own day by doing what they love to do, enjoying their time with us each and every day.
