Our Programs

Those who participate in our Adult Support Services learn important life skills, work on aspects of socialization with peers, and are encouraged to be self-advocates. They are able to maintain access to their communities through outings with program staff and peers and learn about safety in both the community and at home. Our clients learn about diverse backgrounds through activities, crafts, and celebrations and gain access to skills and trainings that allow them to succeed in the workplace, if participating in employment programs.
