“This is an outdoor venue and we are taking all necessary precautions for social distancing, cleaning and disinfecting,” said Angela Katz, LARC Development Director.  “Our new LAB program offers an experiential learning environment for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.  LAB transforms traditional program areas into spaces for innovation, vocation, demonstration and learning. Five Labs focus on skills that maximize independence and employment success.”
