Day Options Update
W
Day Options Fun!
ith the growth of our Yarnbook Day Options program increasing and
further interest from numerous outside contacts, we decided to expand
Mini Golf and
Bowling
our Day Options program from one site to two sites. In doing this, we were able
to expand from a single service in the North to the East where access to Day
Options (Learning & Lifestyle) programs is limited. Although both programs Michael, Steward,
provide a holistic curriculum they are also tailored based on the functionality Michelle, Clint and Matt
of the people in the group. Each program offers unique opportunities to enable enjoying community
life skills development for the individuals who participate. access at the Barossa
Bowland and mini golf!
Our second program operating out of Harrow House is growing rapidly.
We would like to thank the Harrow House Board and of course our CEO Wendy
Warren for passionately sharing the vision of utilizing this exceptional space to
be used as a Day Options program. We’ve been operating for approximately
five weeks and are receiving positive feedback from clients, parents and care
givers. There is ample room to enjoy a range of activities inside or outside in
the beautiful gardens. One of our participants has said that “it is a nice open
environment and it is a cool place to be” Ashlee. Thanks to all involved for their
hard work and commitment to support the Day Options to expand and grow.
