Diverse Abilities Programming + Support
The Jack and Shirley Silver Center for Diverse Abilities (formerly known as The Center for Special Needs) builds and nurtures an inclusive and accepting community where individuals with disabilities and their families have opportunities to make meaningful connections to each other and their communities. We serve as a catalyst and leader for transforming the ways in which the community at large understands and interacts with people with different abilities.
Adaptations (Ages 22+)
Adaptations is a dynamic, supportive, social community of neurodiverse adults with a high level of independence looking to learn, grow, and deepen connections with one another. Are you or your loved one:
- Neurodiverse and/or have a developmental/learning disability?
- Over the age of 22?
- Comfortable in a 12:1 member-to-staff ratio?
- Have a support system in place such as family, friends, or therapists?
- Able to maintain a respectful and safe environment for others?
- Excited to meet new people and try new activities?
Through structured social/recreational programs, Adaptations provides multiple pathways to fostering independence, finding passion, and experiencing the richness of the community. Adaptations is not a clinical program.
For more information, contact Michelle Wexler.
Adaptive Aquatics Program (Ages 2+)
Swimmers in our adaptive aquatics program benefit from the Halliwick Concept, a water-based supportive therapy that shares similar goals with physical, occupational, and speech therapies. Swimmers work toward gaining independence in the water and meeting functional living goals on land. We offer 1:1 swim lessons, 1:1 aquatic therapy sessions, and group classes from beginner to advanced level swimming for all ages.
For more information, contact Caitlin Boker.
CORE (Ages 18+)
CORE is a space for adults ages 18 and up to connect, engage, and grow with one another. Participants can join their peers weekly for a variety of fun, age-appropriate activities such as social media lessons, meaningful group discussions, and trips to local parks and shops. These opportunities give individuals a chance to explore and expand their interests, feel a sense of community, and promote meaningful personal growth and interpersonal connection.
For more information, contact Johva Vargas.
Lecture Series
The goal of CDA's Parents/Professionals Lecture Series is to educate and inform individuals about a wide range of topics that relate to parenting children—of all ages—who have been diagnosed with challenges ranging from intellectual to neurological.
For more information, contact Hannah Kaplan-Cohen.
Parent Support Groups
Join other parents of children, from those newly diagnosed through adulthood, who have been identified as having developmental challenges of all kinds, who understand the isolation, frustration, and financial stresses that often face families like yours. Discussions are kept confidential.
For more information, contact Hannah Kaplan-Cohen.
Programs for Siblings
Join our community of adult siblings of brothers and sisters who have been identified as having disabilities or challenges of all kinds. The combined expertise of the facilitators and the siblings' personal experiences provide support, resources, and connections.
For more information, contact Julie Singer.
The SibSpace Mentoring Program is for school-age, teenage, and adult siblings of brothers and sisters with special needs/disabilities (also known as "sibs"). This intergenerational mentoring program bridges our current Sibshops and SibSpace communities, connecting mentors and mentees on the basis of their shared sib identities.
For more information, contact Jessica Kruger.
SibSpace is made possible with generous support from the J.E. & Z.B. Butler Foundation.
Sibshops is a social, recreational program for young brothers and sisters of siblings with disabilities (also known as 'sibs'). At Sibshops, sibs will have an opportunity to talk about the good and not-so-good parts of having a sibling(s) living with disability and learn more about disability and the services their brothers and sisters receive.
For more information, contact Laura Zaugg.
Teen Programming (Ages 14–21)
Our teen programming is for teens of all abilities, providing recreational and community-building opportunities as well as social skills development.
For more information, contact Julie Singer.
Resources
This service helps families and individuals with disabilities navigate the channels of the state Office for People with Developmental Disabilities and other Federal agencies to obtain much-needed funding and services such as Self-Direction, Medicaid, and OPWDD housing services.
For more info, contact Cayle White.
AT Help offers free Assistive Technology (AT) support to children and adults via Zoom and in person at the JCC. The program’s mission is to guide individuals, families, caregivers, and professionals in the effective acquisition, use, and implementation of AT, which may enhance participation for individuals with disabilities in the workplace, in schools, and within their communities, by addressing learning or productivity obstacles, augmenting communication and daily living skills, enhancing visual or auditory supports, or improving the physical accessibility for interacting within a particular environment.
AT Train is a complementary AT training program, which provides free support for educators, therapists, parent groups, and advocates who serve the needs of individuals with disabilities.
AT Train has been graciously funded by the Omer Foundation, the J.E. & Z.B. Butler Foundation, and the Flutie Foundation.
For more information, contact ATHelp@me.com.
This valuable tool is for anyone exploring housing options for a family member with a disability. During the course of answering 126 questions, you’ll begin to clarify your housing vision and articulate what will define "home" for your family member: their support needs, the benefits and services they are eligible for, where they will live, and how their new home will support their lifestyle preferences and social activities.
The assessment is also used to identify gaps in your family member’s benefits and services. It is a required first step to joining the Partners4Housing Roommate Matching Pool. There is a one-time $500 fee.
Take the Residential Assessment
Disclaimer: We are committed to helping you create a sustainable housing solution for your family member with a disability, but we cannot guarantee a roommate match or a housing solution.
