Often times, behavior that is accepted as the “social norm” is not easily attained by people with special needs and challenges. Our after work program was developed to address this issue for our participants. This program is open later in the afternoon to allow working parents the additional time they need to transition from work to pick up their adult child. The Adult After Work Program encourages our participants to make good choices that cultivate meaningful and effective socialization skills by engaging in different types of activities with their peers in a less structured environment. Life skills such as negotiation, problem solving, turn-taking, and sharing, are just a few of the skills that are highlighted and focused on every day. These skills are essential for the success of our participants in every aspect of their lives
