We would like to thank the Ryder Foundation for giving us a significant donation for 2010 to fund training additional therapists and aides working with students in our program.

We have been asked to do a more “summer day-camp” kind of thing for our teenagers this summer so we’re trying a couple two-week-five-days-a-week intensive camps. See the Summer 2010 page for details.
Stay tuned: Our late-teen/young adults will have a different program and we’ll keep our older folks going all summer.
