Adams St. The curriculum includes; employment and academic skills, arts & crafts, field trips, and socialization & communication skills training. Fees are $35.00 per month. |

WAVE's DAY PROGRAM
 |
In January, WAVE expanded the day program for developmentally disabled teens and adults to Tuesday - Thursday, 1:00pm - 3:30pm. The expansion was made possible by grant from the good folks at Faith Presbyterian Church. The program is held at the First Presbyterian church which is kind enough to provide space for our day program as well as space for some of our social events. We very much appreciate the generosity of both churches. Without their support and commitment, WAVE would be unable to offer the service to developmentally disabled citizens in our community. |

WAVE Opens Day Program at First Presbyterian Church
WAVE added a day program to its menu of services beginning July 9, 2009. The program is offered at the First Presbyterian Church on Adams St. in downtown Tallahassee. We appreciate the kindness and generosity of Rev. Copeland and his fine staff in making the facility available for our day program.
Initially, the program is offered on Thursday's every other week from 1:00 to 3:00 PM. WAVE's ultimate goal is to offer the program on a more frequent basis when additional funding becomes available. Seven clients are currently attending the day program. Ms. Debby Rios, a former instructor at Gretchen Everhart is our Therapist.
The program consists of vocational skills training, arts and crafts, socialization skills and activities of daily living. On day one the students worked on arts & crafts and took a trip to the local library to develop their computer skills.
If you would like additional information regarding the Day program please contact Bob Maryanski at 412-9279 or by email; wavefriends@hotmail.com.
Check back often as we will have additional information regarding the day program. Additional photos can be found on the events page.
