Friends For Life Rehabilitation Services

Our Story

Friends for Life Rehabilitation Services is a collaborative effort that started in 2014. Joanna Kurdi, who is the owner, has an Autistic son, and she spent countless hours searching for the best Day program for him. It wasn’t soon enough until she realized that she should open a day program of her own to help her son, and others who have developmental disabilities. Friends for Life Rehabilitation Services takes pride in its family oriented setting, and ensures that everyone feels welcome. Joanna Kurdi along with her husband Yasin Kurdi founded Friends for Life Rehabilitation Services in late 2014. Official business started in April 2015, and in May 2015 they received their first client. Friends for Life Rehabilitation Services is about to celebrate its third year anniversary of being open for consumers. FFL is promising to continue its honorable duty of aiding and providing service to everyone with developmental disabilities.

While attending the Friends for Life Rehabilitation Services program, our clients will be assessed to determine their level. After assessments, each client will be assigned to the specific activity that aligns with his/her level. This will help in keeping the progress in a steady pace. After each level is complete, the client will move up to the level after it. The activities will be designed to meet our clients’ interests and goals.
