Karly let her Community Habilitation staff, Alexxis, know that she wanted to go on a parasailing adventure in Lake George and a few days later they were airborne! Karly said it was the best day ever.

Community Habilitation provides supports which can help to foster and maintain independence, happiness, and overall well-being through our person-centered services, while also remaining flexible with various schedules and time constraints.  Whether in group or one-on-one settings, Community Habilitation allows individuals to direct their own services in a comfortable and personalized setting, both at home and in the community.
