OSSCO- Empowering Accessible Living: Discovering Your New Super Abilities (8-week Program)
March 18 – May 6, 2024
Monday Afternoon
1:00pm-2:30pm
As we age, we often adjust to our acquired disabilities. For some, these “new abilities” are barriers. In this 8-week program, you discover that your “new abilities” are not a barrier. You explore life changes, learn to give up the familiar, how to deal with loss, face the impact of an acquired disability and relearn to thrive in society.
