Special Populations

The Special Populations program area offers a variety of recreational classes and programs designed to meet the needs of individuals with mental retardation and/or closely related developmental disabilities. Not all programs in this area will meet the needs and interests of all residents with special needs. We are currently developing programs for those with physical disabilities such as arthritis, minor injury rehabilitations, and more. Special Populations hosts dances, bowling bashes, Friday Night Fest, as well as a variety of arts and crafts classes. Also provided are life skills programs including cooking, personal grooming, and independent living skills for our clients with mental disabilities.

Instructors Needed
Instructors are needed for a variety of programs—arts and crafts, dancing, cooking, special events, and more. If you would like to share your talents with children/adults with developmental disabilities, please contact our office for an application.
