Registration Opens for Via West Respite Program
Via West Campus has just released its calendar for the upcoming fall, winter, and spring respite programs. Via West, a program of Via Services, Inc., offers year-round day and residential programs for adults and children with disabilities, ages 5 and older. The campus is located in the Cupertino foothills.
Via West is offering eleven respite opportunities, an increase from nine the previous year. All of the sessions will continue to provide an enhanced curriculum featuring social skills, iPads and technology, independent living skills, and an emphasis on living healthy. Many of the sessions will also include community integration with field trips offsite.
