Community Experience

The individuals who participate in COCO 's Community Experience program are provided with the opportunity to go on community outings each day. Outings are tailored to meet the needs and wishes of the people in each group. These outings become as much of a learning experience as possible. The groups have visited local parks to watch others, play ball, feed the water foul, etc.  At the malls, the folks learn purchasing & money exchange, go into the candle stores & bath / body stores to experience the different aromas of the products, eat at the restaurants & food courts-learning appropriate dining skills, go to the pet stores, to see and touch the different animals. They also plan larger / longer trips to attractions like Lake Compounce , The Maritime Museum, the Beardsley Zoo, Mystic Aquarium, and Yankee Candle.

We offer in-house opportunities for skill building such as cooking, money exchange, sign recognition, and safety skills.  There is also a specially equipped stimulation room to offer sensory stimulation activities.
