Many special needs families struggle to find an appropriate program for their loved one after his or her school or day program ends in the afternoon.
Traditional programs are often unwilling to accept individuals with severe disabilities or medical challenges or lack the expertise to offer meaningful programming to this population.
Pillar Care Continuum has designed unique programs with the expert staff and specialized facilities and equipment needed to support the educational, medical and social needs of individuals with disabilities.

For the younger children, the programs offer exciting, interactive activities that include both one-on-one and group activities, including:

Volunteer Projects Volunteers will coordinate group activities such as cooking, arts and crafts and music.
Recreation Students will be thrilled to explore a 2,500 square-foot accessible play park with playground equipment, gazebo and greenhouse.
For students ages 14-21, we are able to provide an experience tailored to the young adult. We focus on helping students complete any school assignments and also offer age-appropriate opportunities for socializing and learning, including:

Interactive Technology Staff may use a variety of educational technology, including smart boards and iPads.
