Narrative

At our Mid-Cape and Islands Access Center, our team of skilled and caring staff work to give our members a high level of service each day.

Programs both within the facility and out in the community are continuously added and modified based on member input. We provide activities with a focus on increasing independence, building functional skills and continuing development of self-management.

Some of our current program offerings include:

•  Communication – is encouraged throughout the day for all members. This includes the use of technology and/or adaptive equipment such as iPads with communication software, etc.
• Book Club – promotes literary exploration for all who are interested in stories and reading. Members are given opportunities to choose book topics and may either read aloud or quietly listen.
• Group outings – occur on a daily basis. These opportunities allow members to explore scenic Cape Cod and beyond, learning to apply real world safety skills and interact with the community beyond the day program. 
• Community volunteering opportunities – such as at Cranberry Sunset Farm allows members to cultivate a strong work ethic and encourage community engagement among fellow volunteers.
• Social Skills Group – explores a broad variety of topics, from interpersonal skills to real world applications.
• Yoga Classes – indulge the senses through calming music, aromatherapy, and individualized poses.
• Physical Therapist approved Exercise Programs – including recumbent bicycles, treadmills, stair steppers and individualized cardiovascular and strength training routines, allow members to focus on personal fitness and self-monitoring skills.
• Art Groups – provide members with the ability to practice their artistic expression or carefully follow along to unique guided projects.
• Instructional Cooking Classes allow our members to learn safety skills in tandem with gaining culinary experience from start to finish, including recipe planning, shopping, cooking and serving.
• Member Meetings – are held on a regular basis to ensure we are in touch with members’ interests, concerns and needs. It is essential to continually ask for feedback to keep our focus member driven.
• Regularly scheduled outings to The Center at Cape Cod Village – provide members with artistic and musical interest the freedom to discover their talents in the pristine Orleans-based facility.
