Welcome

DSS was delighted to welcome two new young adults into day programs
this past year.

Coyne is now officially our most “northern” client, as lives in Fort St. John. His family have installed a special trailer for Coyne to use for his day program, on their large rural property, which he will eventually move into. This summer he is busy decorating his new home and planting a special garden adjacent to the house.	Briana who joined us last fall, lives at home with her grandparents in Langley. She enjoys music, crafts, the smell of flowers and singing. She has been able to go out walking in the community with the aid of a therapeutic walker and her intervenor.
