Frequently asked questions
Is this a center-based program?
No — the focus is community-based. Activities happen in real community settings (workplaces, libraries, classes, volunteer sites) rather than at a single day center.
How is a person's schedule planned?
Each person's day is planned around their goals, interests, and preferences. The plan adjusts as the person discovers what they enjoy and what they want to pursue.
Does the service include transportation?
Yes, transportation to and from community activities is part of the support.
