ADULT SERVICES
BUILD SELF-CONFIDENCE
 

 
 

Adult Day Training (ADT) encompasses many activities at PARC. 

 

Clients are active in on-campus and off-campus projects and training.  Other adults are part of the community workforce at PARC Center Industries or at off-campus companies.  

 

The PARC Cultural Arts Center provides unique opportunities in a supported environment.  Annually, more than 300 men and women participate in this program.  They enjoy classes or activities involving scrap booking, jewelry making, arts and crafts, music, dance, computer training, sports, model trains and cars, a day spa and other specialized interests.

 

Because of the training received at PARC many adults have opportunities they have never had before to participate in community 
activities and employment.
