The Activity Center

This program is designed to enhance learning and motor skills. Classes and Social Events are provided to Katie's House residents and 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.

"Dance As If No One Was Watching.”

The Service Group

People with Disabilities Assisting Local Families and Children:

• Collect New Toys for Pediatric Oncology Patients battling cancer and its side effects.
• Collect New and Gently Used Clothes for needy families.
• Collect Toiletries and Food for needy families.

This program supports community involvement, allowing opportunities for our participants to reach out to children battling cancer, assist needy families locally and help other non - profits. This teaches them to give back to the very community that is helping them.

Service Group Gifts Dec. 2009

Please remember Katie's House is collecting new gifts for Tots and Teens for the Cancer Survivor Day in June. If you received a Holiday gift that you do not want but a teen might like, donate it to us. Or if your child received a toy that they do not want, you can donate that also. Katie's House collects all year to provide gifts for the Pediatric Oncology Department at St. Joseph's Hospital in Paterson.

Adults with disabilities can make a difference in the lives of others! Just give us a chance!

Our Service Group collected over $2000-worth of toys, providing gifts for 158 children.
