Daily Living Skills

Class taught by a licensed occupational therapist. The focus is to practice everyday skills in the areas of physical and cognitive functioning, mobility, socializing, perception of self, relationships, independent living, and safety. We combine individual and group activities that work your body and mind. Whether cooking together, exercising, creating an art project, working on a puzzle with a peer, or gardening, you are actively moving toward healing.

Speech, Language and Cognitive Skills

Led by a licensed Speech Pathologist, this class is designed to promote camaraderie while enhancing communication abilities. Working in a supportive environment, participants use all possible means to communicate via activities that address speech, language, critical thinking and memory skills.

With the closure of Services for Brain Injury and REACH Program in 2022, there would have been no remaining non-profit rehabilitation organizations on the Peninsula for people with stroke or brain injuries. The programs and missions closely align with the work of AbilityPath, which is committed to ensuring people of all abilities achieve their full potential. Similar to AbilityPath’s lifespan of services, the concept of long-term stroke and brain injury rehabilitation is to provide comprehensive services that include group-based programs and individual therapies. Providing stroke and brain injury rehabilitation is another way AbilityPath is innovating and adapting to the needs of our most vulnerable friends, neighbors, and community members.
