Mountain Creek Farms, Inc. concentrates on four major areas of development: residential, supported living, vocational services and specialized services. These areas are described below. Our work is guided by our mission and philosophy.
Residential
The residential program focuses on skills retention, development of skills of independent living, and integration in the greater community environment through activities such as volunteer opportunities, Special Olympics, shopping and outdoor activities to improve the mind and body including hiking, biking, camping and cross country skiing.
Day Program / Vocational Services
Mountain Creek Farms also has a day vocational program that offers habilitation programming and skills development to adults and adolescents with autism. The program has a wood shop, weaving and fabric arts department, a horticulture department and several fields of produce, landscaping which work out in the community, kitchen and meal preparation programs, and an animal care program in the barn and pastures. There are several internships set up local businesses that provide real-life learning opportunities that often lead to employment.
Specialized Services
Also offered are limited specialized training support services to families known to the program, advocacy of autism issues, and training to service providers interested in practical approaches to serving adults and adolescents with autism. Mountain Creek Farms also serves as a training sight for students from area colleges and universities.
