ARI...always reaching for independence


Community Experience

Community Experience (CE) is a service offered through ARI’s Habilitation Services Department. As a non-work option, it serves to facilitate community integration of participants through community service, therapeutic recreation, leisure, and functional daily activities.

Among some of the activities are Meals on Wheels (delivering prepared meals to the elderly), Friendly Shoppers Program (weekly grocery shopping for the elderly), Aqua-cise and Adaptive Aquatics at local YMCAs, horticultural therapy, arts and crafts, bowling, dining out, and recycling.

If you would like more information about our Community Experience program, contact Darlene Caviness, Manager of Day Service Options at (203) 324-9258 ext. 3027, or e-mail Darlene at CavinessD@arict.org
