Over the next six hours, activities in therapeutic horticulture and art, culinary training, recreation and personal planning help individuals discover and develop skills for coping and living with disabilities. But these are just a sampling of the activities that take place within the center. A full 50 percent of Newbrook Place services take place in the community for integration and social development.
