| Other Services Offered |
Our agency offers a variety of services for people with developmental disabilities. |
| Description |
We focus on the skills that will assist our learners to be more independent in the home, workplace and community, such as reading, math work readiness and life skills. The majority of our students are developmentally challenged, but many others did not learn in the traditional school setting and need more hands-on instruction, using authentic materials, which we do in our classroom. |
