Workshops provide services for adults with moderate-to-profound developmental and physical disabilities, based on individuals’ needs and abilities. For adults with lower cognitive levels or those who are non-ambulatory, activities include multi-sensory stimulation, massage therapy, hand-over-hand training, and personal assistance. Workshops emphasize wellness and pre-vocational, daily living, and communication skills. They also include varied enrichment activities to encourage social interactions and skills. Additional services for adults include physical therapy, animal-assisted activities, campus employment, Special Olympics, and swimming.

With community inclusion a key component of programming, adults volunteer for local churches and charitable organizations, help collect recycled goods, take field trips, and practice prevocational skills through shopping, banking, and using the public library.

Adults learn, work, and build meaningful, independent lives. Each person finds workshop opportunities to match his or her abilities and desires. We accomplish this through careful evaluation of a person's abilities and desires, focused skill enhancement, and ongoing support within workshops.
