Education and Training

Compass Project/Adaptive Computer Lab and Technology:  The goal of Compass Project is to provide children and adults with developmental disabilities comprehensive information about state and local assistive technology. The DAC provides trained personnel to demonstrate a variety of assistive technology devices including many information technology (computer, IPads, etc.) and software that improve one’s access to these ever-changing technologies.

In addition to computer related adaptive equipment, the DAC is also able to offer for loan and demonstration a variety of recreation, community living, and education related products including reading, writing, personal grooming aids, kitchen gadgets, fitness equipment, literacy curriculum, bowling equipment, and other devices designed to help individuals with disabilities maintain independence.

Book Club: Our Book Club meets weekly to encourage our members to read and comprehend a variety of books and topics. Our members read aloud together as a group and read individually with assistance as needed.

DAC Camp CAN-DO: The week-long day camp focuses on new recreational activities, self-discovery, and challenges clients to try new things with both hands-on learning and physical activities. Camp CAN-DO is a life-changing week for the campers and family members; witnessing the “lightbulb moments” when an individual believes in themselves and realizes what they actually CAN-DO is priceless.
