       DAY, AFTER SCHOOL, AND
               WEEKEND PROGRAMS

Opening September 2026    

​At Unity Respite Services (URS), we offer structured, recreation-based programs designed to support children, youth, and adults with developmental disabilities, special needs, and learning differences in building independence, confidence, and essential life skills.

​

We focus on the next steps in each participant's journey—whether that means strengthening daily living skills, enhancing social and communication abilities, increasing community involvement, or building confidence to navigate everyday life more independently.

Through a combination of recreational activities, life skills training, and community-based experiences, participants are encouraged to explore their interests, develop new abilities, and reach their personal goals while having fun in a supportive and welcoming setting.
