The Krakoff Center

Adult Training Facility

Community Participation Supports

A primary goal of community participation supports (CPS) is to empower individuals to make their own choices and lead fulfilling everyday lives. This includes providing the opportunity for individuals to identify and explore their interests while also building relationships and natural community supports.

Our Community

We are enthusiastic advocates of our local community and are always looking to develop ties with local businesses as well as to cultivate mutually fulfilling community partnerships.

Our Home Base

The focus of The Krakoff Center is on lifelong learning. We work with each individual to develop a plan of goals and activities specific to their needs and desires. The goals are met through community integration designed to increase vocational skill development, social engagement, daily living skills, health, wellness, and creative expression. Due to the success of our community participation program, we choose to utilize our facility as a home base only and for our individuals to spend 100% of their time with us in the community.

“Remember what it felt like to be excluded so that you can help build a community where everyone is included.”
