Participants of our 149th Day Habilitation and South Bronx Day Habilitation are learning to ice skate. These day habilitation programs build daily living skills, such as communication, self-preservation, community awareness, independent living and pre-vocational skills. In December to February, they are learning to go ice skating. Volunteers would go to Riverbank State Park on Wednesdays from 10am to 11:30am and assist the coach in teaching 10-15 people in the fundamentals of ice skating.
