Personal Independence Services provides individuals with severe and/or multiple disabilities a chance to attend classes, experience work, and learn skills.

Instructors conduct a variety of classes which people attend based on their interests and abilities. Classes include instruction in areas such as communication, grooming and personal hygiene, social skills, domestic responsibilities, current events, and much more. A Community Awareness class learns how to access the community by attending events and going to stores and other places in the community.

Some people participate in hands-on work experience in the classroom setting through completing craft projects, doing subcontract work, or working in the screenprinting department. (See screenprinting page of this website for further information.)

HDC staff provide physical therapy, in consultation with a licensed Physical Therapist, for participants whose doctors have prescribed that service.
