“There is a staggering lack of opportunities for adults with disabilities, so they are often confined to the home and do not have meaningful opportunities to grow and learn,” said Connecting Point of Park Cities President Sarah Oliai.

Connecting Point of Park Cities Opens Its Doors for Grand Opening of New Facility

On  Sunday,  September  14,  2014,  Connecting  Point  of  Park  Cities  (CPPC)  celebrated  the  grand  opening  of  its  new  facility,  located  in  Central  Christian  Church. 

 

CPPC  is  an  all- inclusive  day  program  for  adults  with  disabilities,  and  the  new  location  offers  a  wide  range  of  educational,  social  and  recreational  services  for  adults  with  special  needs.  During  the  event,  guests  had  the  opportunity  to  meet  CPPC  staff  members,  who  were  on-hand  to  explain  CPPC’s  programs  and  mission  and  give  tours  of  the  facility, which includes a large classroom, yard and community garden. 

CPPC Board Member Jan Osborn and CPPC Teammate Emily Himes

A PARO  Therapeutic  Robot,  which  resembles  a  real  baby  seal,  was  also  in  attendance  for  the  individuals  with  special  needs.  PARO  is  an  advanced  interactive  robot  that  allows  the  documented  benefits  of  animal  therapy  to  be  administered  to  patients  in  environments  such  as  hospitals  and  extended  care  facilities  where  live  animals  present  treatment  or  logistical  difficulties.  PARO  has  been  found  to  reduce  stress,  stimulate  interaction  and  improve  socialization  between  patients  and  their  caregivers. 

CPPC Program Executive Jamie Reynolds, CPPC Staff Member Carl Thompson, CPPC Instructional Specialist Katelyn Courtney, CPPC Staff Member LaShunda Thomas

The  grand  opening  also  kicked-off  Connecting  Point  of  Park  Cities’  participation  in  North  Texas  Giving  Day,  which  will  take  place  September  18,  2014.  The  proceeds  raised  through  North  Texas  Giving  Day  will  assist  with  general  operations  and a  bus.  The  bus  will  be  a  vital  addition  and  help  connect  CPPC  members  to  off-site  recreational  activities,  educational  classes,  museum  trips  and  a  lunch  outing  every  Thursday. 

Geoff Schorr and CPPC Board Treasurer Kelly Schorr

Connecting  Point  of  Park  Cities  (CPPC)  is  an  organization  committed  to  integrating  individuals  with  disabilities  into  the  Park  Cities  and  surrounding  communities.  CPPC  was  created  to  provide  an  all--‐inclusive  safe,  nurturing  and  stimulating  day  program  and  to  fulfill  the  demand  for  a  community--‐based  program  that  offers  quality  service  programs.  CPPC  plans  to  partner  with  local  education  agencies,  businesses  and  recreational  centers  to  encourage  substantial  community  volunteerism.
