"A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops" – Henry Adams
Recreation Program - Main Campus
The Recreation Program is an after-school socialization resource for participants with developmental disabilities who are between the ages of 3 and 17. The services are designed to develop acceptable behaviors through leisure time activities, recreation, and socialization skills appropriate to the person’s age and functioning level. Programs are licensed by the Department of Social Services. Activities include arts and crafts, cooking groups, table games, music, field trips and adapted physical education. The program operates Monday through Friday from 1:00 to 6:00 PM. Participants are referred and primarily funded by the San Diego Regional Center. Admission is open to individuals who are ineligible for service by other day care or after school programs due to disability conditions or behavior problems.
I learned a lot while in the Recreation Program. I learned to ride a bike, how to play appropriately with my peers (share, take turns). I also learned about being safe in the community. How to cross streets safely and most importantly I’ve gained a good understanding of stranger awareness. I used to be overly friendly with everyone, and now I know I can’t just approach people and talk to them. Click here to learn more about Jon.
