Adults with disabilities too often lack options to have an active role as full citizens in their community after graduating from the public school system. Adults with disabilities desire the same outcomes in life as people without disabilities. They want to work, enjoy friends, and give back to their community. SPARC provides a dynamic program in a community setting with the appropriate supports so people with disabilities can stay united with their families, connected within their neighborhoods, and enjoy their friendships. Our goal is to ensure all students with disabilities graduate to a life of opportunities not isolation. We offer life-long learning opportunities for individuals with life-long disabilities. Whatever the disability, SPARC can modify and adapt activities to faciliate the personal preferences expressed by each participant. SPARC is an active, engaging, vibrant program in an encouraging and cooperative setting for adults with all disabilities.
