The Arc of Katy is launching a pilot online program aimed at providing new opportunities for social interaction, friendship with peers, and continued learning for teens and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are not able to participate in The Arc of Katy’s current in-person day program.
Facilitated by an adult instructor experienced in working with teens and adults with I/DD, The Arc of Katy’s new Virtual Interaction Program (VIP) is scheduled to launch Feb. 3, 2021. The pilot program will be held each Wednesday with two online sessions held for participants each day, the first from 11 to 11:45 a.m., and the second from 2 to 2:45 p.m. A monthly evening social program also will be scheduled for VIP participants.
A minimum of seven and maximum of 15 participants will be registered for the pilot program and applications will be accepted on a first come basis. Registration information is available here.
The fee for VIP participation is $30 per day to cover costs of staff and supplies. Participants will be billed monthly. Participants also need to be enrolled as members of The Arc of Katy; annual membership dues for individuals and families are $75.
For more information on program registration, contact The Arc of Katy Administrative Assistant Ann Ferner at 832.754.9802 or send an email to info@thearcofkaty.org.
