Happy Early Valentine’s Day from AIM-CIL! ❤️

This week, in a few of our ES-PECT classes, students explored different day programs and learned about the variety of activities they might participate in. From discovering new opportunities to building important life skills, it was a lesson full of learning and growth!

To celebrate, students also created a fun heart craft in honor of Valentine’s Day — adding a little creativity and joy to the experience. 💕
