Program Description

The ACES program provides purposeful, goal oriented activities for adults with developmental disabilities, who may not be ready or wanting only vocationally oriented training. The program operates Monday through Friday from 8AM to 4PM. Many activities do occur on site such as personal self-care , life skills, art and gardening. But many outings also take place to libraries, movies, museums, parks, and fairs, to name a few. Learning to access everyday services and using them properly are a portion of goals for some; such as making a purchase, crossing the street safely, and learning who are "safe strangers".
