The residents at The Homewood Residence, along with our guests from the Board of Developmental Disabilities, learned gentle but effective Tai Chi movements to help them with flexibility, balance and stamina. They learned that the movements can be adapted to all levels of ability, so everyone gets great benefit!

 Great turnout today for our yoga class at The Jennings Center for Older Adults. The senior residents and our guests from the Board of Developmental Disabilities learned some yoga moves to keep their bodies healthy, and some breathing and meditation practices to keep their minds and spirits at ease.

 We were very honored to be asked to provide services at The Arc of Greater Cleveland’s “People First” Conference for Self-Advocates. We provided chair massages and a card making activity for the participants while they were registering and preparing for the conference speakers.

 The residents at The Homewood Residence, along with our guests from the Board of Developmental Disabilities, learned tools today for creating an intentional life, rather than being victims of circumstance. I guided them to decide what positive changes they would like to make in their lives, and ways that they could begin to make them. They each made a list of action items so they can start making positive changes.

 We kicked off the new trimester at the Board of Developmental Disabilities with a fun sing along. The participants had a great time singing, clapping and playing hand percussion instruments. The favorite song of the day was “Me and Julio” by Paul Simon.
