Community Experience is an unique program offering specialized services to cognitively high-level adults with physical disabilities. Individuals play an active role with staff and therapist support. Consumers work on their goals in group-based classes and activities, incorporating technology, arts, fitness and community membership. Community Experience features a technology lab with adaptive therapeutic equipment. The Community Experience program emphasizes on acquiring independent living skills.
