Virtual Programming, Pre-Vocational Training & Supported Employment
Due to COVID-19, we were forced to cancel our in-person programming. Since then, we've been brainstorming ways to keep the individuals in our program engaged and educated. We now offer virtual programming for the individuals in our programs. Individuals can enroll in multiple classes a day in a variety of educational topics such as cooking, fitness, sensory development, social media training, learning Spanish, and more!
We provide learning and work experiences to help individuals with IDD succeed in the community. Participation in this program (individual or small group) develops common workplace skills.
Supported Employment is designed to help obtain and maintain a job in the general workforce. Job training opportunities may be available at one of our businesses.
