This Thanksgiving, we pause with gratitude for our incredible Participants, devoted Staff, and generous Supporters.
“When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.”

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us!

"Dan the man" has a heart for volunteering and he demonstrates it so well with his Participant groups that they now LOVE to volunteer and give of their time to others in need :)

Our staff of Facilitators do an amazing job working with their individuals groups!
"Ocean Waves played Web of Connectedness from the curriculum binder today! It was a good and engaging activity for group members! We used the Connection Points from the binder and I also added a few more. If you'd like to play this game, I left a printout of the Connection Points in the work room, and you will need yarn. At the end of the game, you can see the "web" your group has created by passing the yarn around and see how connected everyone is." - Susie

Who knew you can have so much fun AND make great accomplishments at the arcade? Fishers FUN at the Arcade!

Arcade games benefit adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) by improving cognitive and motor skills, promoting social interaction, and boosting self-esteem. They can enhance hand-eye coordination, reaction time, and multitasking abilities. Games also provide stress relief and can be used as a tool to build social skills and confidence in a fun, stimulating environment.

Butterscotch and Chocolate Pudding sounds like a great addition to the Thanksgiving meal! Just ask one of the Fishers Explorers and they will show you how to make it!
