Customized to the needs of the individual
The Arc of Space Coast operates a life skills development program at our main facility in Rockledge. As we do with all of our programs, the scheduling options we offer are customized to the needs and goals of our individuals. Some of our people target employment skills and community participation, while others are more focused on personal management and household skills building.
We provide art, music, exercise, reading, and job skills development in a ratio of 1:3, 1:5, and 1:10 based on the needs of each group and individual.
We accept both Medicaid Waiver and private pay options.
