Outings, such as library, gym and (if you can swim) possibly swimming at the local pool, may be done as well.
You will plan and guide in simple arts & crafts activities, simple cooking (making a smoothie) and baking, doing puzzles and exercise on the treadmill or using the WII. With your help, our son can try new activities and practice daily living skills.
