Services and Activities Provided
This program is designed to enhance learning and motor skills. Courses in Sign Language and Dance Habilitation are provided to house members living in our residence and also to other young adults with developmental disabilities in the surrounding communities.
Sign Language Workshops
Did you know that many adults with disabilities have no way to communicate with others because no one thought to include sign language in their school curriculum? Most of these adults have very little spelling or writing skills. Now they are locked in a world with no way to have their voice heard.
Katie’s House believes signing should have been provided while in school but it is never too late to learn. This workshop is provided free to caregivers and scholarships are given to adults with disabilities when they do not have funding to pay for the course.
Sign Language provides alternative communication skills.
Dance Habilitation
Katie's House is pleased to offer Dance lessons for adults with disabilities at our Activity Center. Dancing is a great way to provide habilitation and exercise while enjoying others in a social environment.
