Ulster-Greene ARC has expanded its role in providing services to individuals on the Autism Spectrum. The Renaissance Institute offers uniquely designed day services with enhanced clinical supports to individuals on the Autism Spectrum.  It is designed around the needs of the individual and offers each person the supports they need to work towards achieving their life goals.  Three individuals have successfully transitioned from the program having helped them to achieve a greater level of independence and quality of life.  An individual who had been extremely fearful of attending medical appointments received intensive supports to enable her to become more comfortable going into the community.  She gradually became more comfortable and was able to attend a dental appointment something that she was incapable of before.  A true testament to what we do “offering people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities opportunities to live and experience a full life”.

The use of creative group sessions to reflect the interests and need of the people served addresses issues related to stress management and groups specifically for women.
