Attendance
Attendance is flexible and determined according to the needs of the participant and family. Planned attendance should consist of at least two half-day (5 hours) periods per week. This will enable the participant to become oriented to his or her new surroundings and avoid undue anxiety or stress from a new situation. Full days range from more than six (6) hours to nine (9) hours, (7:30 a.m. to 5:00 a.m.).
Assistance is available to help you find transportation, if needed.
