Adult Residential Program

Our Adult Residential Program began an exciting new chapter this past year A new model of living – flexibly blending in-person and online group activities - led to more individualized care and growth than ever before.

Now in his 60s, Julio, medically complex and hearing impaired, sailed with Center for Discovery staff and friends in a regatta for the first time. Meticulous planning and collaboration with our colleagues from the Recreation and Occupational Therapy teams made this dream come true for a man who spent the first half of his life in an institution. Other residents hiked and biked, swam, were contestants, performers, and spectators in contests and at concerts and festivals - on and off campus all year

Our Self-Advocacy group moved full speed ahead with their “Bucket List” in 2022. Supported by our team, they made products from the farm, fundraised with a market sale, and went big with a trip to a nearby casino! They all say being able to express their desires and work towards their goals has been their very special jackpot.
