Respite Center                                                                                  The Respite Center serves children from birth to three years. Children in this program have significant disabilities and medical issues. During the course of the day children receive the physical, occupational, and developmental therapies they need combined with water play, crafts and fun. These activities take place around medication, tube feedings, and medical procedures.

Adult Day Program
At the age of 22 families face the end to entitled educational services provided by schools. Many adults with disabilities end up at home with little to do. Our program concentrates on teaching the daily living skills that are needed for each individual to reach their highest level of independence. Goals range from learning to shower independently to learning how to interact in a public place.

Employment Support for Individuals with Disabilities
We have developed thirteen job sites. We provide job development, training and coaching within these sites for many of our adults with developmental disabilities. The joy of having a job has the wonderful effect of increasing self-confidence, responsibility and the overall feeling of being a productive part of society.
