Project Description:
Bear River Activity and Skill Center (BRASC) provides day training for individuals with relatively severe disabilities. Teaching functional academic, social, daily living, and other skills is emphasized in the day training program. In addition, BRASC offers family support services including respite, latch key, and summer recreation. Supported living services, which help individuals with disabilities to live in their communities, are also offered. Finally, supported employment services, emphasizing community-based job development and placement, are offered.
