When a special needs child reaches age 22, they are no longer able to attend public school. When this occurs, their families must make some very difficult choices. Finding an organization devoted to providing daily activities for their special needs family member to remain social, active and happy becomes a priority. Families need a resource like FriendsUNeed, an organization that provides life enrichment without placing a financial burden on their households.
FriendsUNeed, affectionately called “Fun Club” by its members, offers a safe and structured daily enrichment program Monday – Friday, 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM.
