In-Person Programs
We are offering in-person programming this fall in Southeastern Wisconsin, Fox Cities, and South Central Wisconsin. Read on for more info about your local area!
Please note that all participants will have a full, thorough intake done by a case coordinator before participation can begin at in-person programs to maximize inclusivity and ensure appropriate supports are available for safe participation. We recommend you sign up as soon as possible to give ample time for this intake to occur. Through this intake, our staff will work with your family on a person-centered plan of support that works on individualized goals and matches the participant with the most appropriate programs.
