Community Day Services
EP!C’s Community Day Services
Program’s goal is to ensure each participant enjoys a productive, enjoyable day while building skills to enrich their lives. This is done through a variety of options:

To build social, cooking, community access, home access, hygiene, daily living, and independent living skills. Education is tailored to each individual’s needs and ranges from basic to more advanced skill levels.
Vocational/Work Skills Training
