The Youth Skills Program provides social and recreational services to legally blind children ages 6 to 13 to help them build self-confidence. During the school year (October through May), students gather each month to participate in enriching social and recreational activities, including:
- Drama, which promotes social integration and teamwork
- Physical education and yoga, which enhance strength and balance
- Technology to help students fully access their world through both assistive and mainstream tech tools
- Arts and crafts, which foster self-expression and creativity
- Community field trips to the park, museums, and local businesses
The people here are really nice. Whether it’s kids or teachers, they make it really easy to talk to anyone. There are a lot of classes here that I truly believe will help people.
