H.E.R.O.E.S. serves all people with different abilities from birth through adulthood. We strive to support all families through connections to resources as well as facilitating lifelong learning and long-term successes. We accomplish these goals by teaching the skills that are necessary for all individuals to become contributing members of society.
H.E.R.O.E.S. began during the summer of 2005. A group of Special Education Teachers and parents saw the need for a program that would PROVIDE opportunities in the community to learn valuable life skills in a safe, fun and loving environment.
H.E.R.O.E.S. strives to create social, recreational and vocational programs designed to meet the unique needs of individuals with disabilities. H.E.R.O.E.S. does not turn anyone
away because of medical or behavioral needs. We welcome everyone and staff according to the needs of our students.
