Q. What will the mobile unit do during the summer?
A. Summer plans include community engagement, education, and family involvement activities to reinforce skills learned through counseling. Staff will regularly check in with existing patients, and counseling services will be provided on a limited basis for existing high-risk patients.
Q. Is there a plan to add a lift? How will you meet the needs of individuals of all abilities?
A. At this time, we don’t have the space to add specific lifts or services to meet all vehicle needs. We will meet those needs by providing services in the location that best works for each individual. This may be in one of our clinics or in the school itself.

This is a brand-new program, and to our knowledge, the first of its kind. We plan to use our experience to expand and grow as opportunities present themselves. Community and client feedback will be an essential part of our decision-making during program planning.
