A Note from the Adult Services Director, Dionna Lanich
“Individuals have an opportunity to learn, grow, and become independent. These opportunities are based on the needs and interests of each person. We strive to offer activities that are sensory stimulating, challenging, fun, and interactive. It is vital for everyone to be encouraged to participate and engage at some level. Communication is a major focus within the program. We help individuals to communicate their wants and needs, either verbally or with pictures.”
