Families can rest and relax with our many programs that encourage respite by providing activities for all family members. Respite time is often overlooked in our busy families’ lives, yet play — or relaxation time — is a critical component to a happy, healthy lifestyle.
Parents’ Night/Day Out
Parents’ Night Out is a scheduled event for children with disabilities offered on Fridays from 6:15-9:30 p.m.
