“Here you will find adaptive equipment and tools for adventure, education, sensory needs, and art.”
“Gear reservations for items can be made through our online registration portal or at the Community Center front desk a minimum of 24 hours in advance.”
“Set up a valuable one on one conversation with our Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS), Laine Fabijanic, to discover what is possible to help you or your loved one have more support within our programs using adaptive equipment, behavioral support, and other inclusive offerings.”
Reserve at least a day ahead; the headphones aren't a walk-up loan.
If you're not sure what would help, start with a call or text to Laine. That's what the conversation is for.
