Bear River Activity and Skill Center
Project Description:
BRASC provides training in functional academic, social, daily living, and prevocational skills to adults with disabilities. Job development and placement services are provided utilizing competitive job-based training and supported employment service delivery models. In addition, BRASC offers family support services including respite, latch key, and summer recreation. Supported living services were added to BRASC offerings in 2001.
This year the university reviewed BRASC's supported employment activities and determined that some of them represented too great a risk and were illegal. Subsequently, the Brigham City based portion of the program providing those services was spun off to the private sector. The new provider, Life-skills & Individual Needs Center (LINC), continues to serve as a training site and to cooperate in grant writing and researh efforts.
Each year, BRASC serves approximately 100 people with disabilities, employs approximately 50 students, and serves as a training site for students participating in an interdisciplinary training program.
