The focus of the Recreation and Community Living Skills class is to help the consumers function as independently as possible in the community. This includes teaching them about community resources, money and banking skills, survival sign identification and emergency phone use. Consumers are taken into the community to aid in developing skills such as dining at various restaurants in the community and learning to order independently from a menu. The instructors in the Recreation and Community Living Skills Class are Robert Hale and Connie Story.
Recreation and Physical Activities and Leisure & Crafts can be a prime agent in bringing happiness to individuals. It can become the foundation of a productive and worthwhile life. The goal of this class is to emphasize ability - not disability; encourage - not discourage and provide challenges that will stimulate and motivate the consumers while having fun. Activities are found to interest each individual as well as to achieve success regardless of age, degree of their disability or previous experience. Many times a person's inability to do or even attempt a task is a reflection of a lack of expectation or experience.

The instructors for these areas are Craig Brown, Pam Meadows, Janice Bradley, and Heather Coker.
