Larger Group Day Supports (Time-Limited). We understand families need to work or do other things that may require their loved one to receive support and supervision outside of the home. CLW’s focus is on ensuring that people receive custom, tailored, and flexible support that is based on their interests and is individualized or in small groups. Our larger group day supports are focused on helping a person to discover interests and relationships that will lead to more customized and personalized outcomes. This is a great option to allow people and families immediate relief in order to start a more meaningful transition. Coming Soon.
