Frequently asked questions
Is this a center-based program?
No. Community Networking happens in real community locations — libraries, classes, volunteer sites, recreation centers — not at a single program building.
How does it differ from Day Supports?
Day Supports may happen in licensed day program settings; Community Networking is structured around community-integrated activities.
Can the schedule change week to week?
Yes. Schedules are individualized and flex with the person's interests, opportunities, and goals.
