History

Established in 2014.

Deanna has been professionally working with individuals of all ages and combined diagnosis with autism for over 22 years. She is a strong advocate for these individuals and understands their needs. She is aware that the adult continues to grow, learn in all areas of their life and requires support in all areas: communication, social skills, vocational skills, functional education, sensory integration and in life skills. She also believes their quality of life can be enhanced through the appropriate environment, respectful interactions and through fulfilling, engaging and fun activities. Deanna realized that adult day programming can be improved upon and left her position as an art therapist in a specialized center to start a new model to adult activity centers. She is partnered with 2 other individuals who also have worked in the field for many years.
