Curriculum
 
Our newest curriculum is currently being developed to reflect recent research and current MH/MR trends.

We follow the theory of Social Role Valorization, that is all individuals have aspirations for leading a "normal" quality of life.

"It is important for us all to recognize that people with intellectual disability (mental handicap) are people first. They are entitled to have their dignity respected in all social situations. By promoting the spirit of normalization we reaffirm their humanity and consequent rights."

We are encouraged to take any necessary step within our bounds to enhance individual's competencies and enhance their value in the eyes of others. This is the RECS driving force.

We offer:
Rehabilitation - social and behavioral training.
Education - the foundations of our life skills. Reading, Writing, Communication..
Community Living - essential independent living skills including travel training, Job Development.
Skills Training - acquiring necessary skills to fulfill goals. Individual goals include gainful employment, independent living, sports and health development, volunteering, arts & crafts.

Feel free to contact us for more information.
