Programs for pre-teens, teens, and adults with disabilities. We offer social skills training, life skills training, and job skills training with our Summer Camps, Social Skills Classes, and Day Programs.
We help families navigate those challenging times when your child struggles at home, school, and in the community. Many marriages struggle when they include a child with a disability. We want to be a great support for the family unit.
