Adult Programs

Classes, workshops, and events run throughout the year meeting the needs of individuals looking to gain independence, see old friends, meet new friends, and practice social and life skills.

Wednesday evenings are dedicated to our Disney Diehards. Each week we meet to discuss everything Disney, from our favorite movies, to what is happening in the parks and even our favorite Disney music. We share a meal to round out our evening. 

On The Weekends, Teens And Adults Who Are Differently Able Converge On The Center For Friendship, Art, Music, Time In The Community, Dances And Trips In Our Van.  We Offer A Saturday Program That Has An Art Component, A Social Component And Newly Added, Zumba Each Week. We Attend Local Community Events To Put Those Life Skills To Use. The Group Has A Voice In The Planning Of Our Saturdays Together. They Enjoy Brainstorming Ideas For Art Activities. They Also Make Suggestions For Community Events Happening In Town That We Should Attend. The Group Supports Program Participants By Attending Some Of The Activities (Special Olympics, Performances And Fundraisers) They Do Outside Of The Center. Once A Year, The Saturday Artists Create An Art Exhibit To Be Displayed At The Burlington Public Library. Parents, Friends And The Public Are Invited To The Opening Reception In Honor Of The Artists.
