✨🎅🏼❤️🎄 Harmon Funeral Home wants to humbly & generously thank We Rock The Spectrum Staten Island for your generous donation/raffle towards our Photo with Santa Opportunity for Children with Special Needs. Your support brings joy to so many!

✨We Rock the Spectrum – Staten Island, NY was founded to provide a place for children of all ability levels to play and grow together. As the only kid’s gym that offers an inclusive philosophy, we have found all children can benefit from our uniquely designed sensory equipment that is specifically designed to aid children with sensory processing disorders. However, in our experience, all children are able to benefit greatly from this equipment and by allowing children of all ability levels to play together they are able to learn a great deal from each other and become the best motivation for success on every level.

✨The staff at We Rock the Spectrum – Staten Island, NY are comprised of the most caring, understanding, and energetic people around. We have a host of staffers and volunteers who come to us in order to assist our gym and its goal of aiding children with special needs in growing beyond the expectations of doctors and therapists. Often a therapist for a child with special needs will attend the gym with the children in order to observe and provide their therapy while using the equipment in our gym. This allows kids the access they want to the amazing equipment while the therapist is able to take advantage of the support and availability of the staff and equipment which might not be present in other settings.

✨ OUR GYM INCLUDES:

▪️SUSPENDED EQUIPMENT WITH SWINGS – FOR BALANCE AND VESTIBULAR TREATMENT

✨🎅🏼🎄❤️ Harmon Funeral Home is incredibly proud and grateful to Lifestyles for the Disabled for contributing to our event. We thank you for your raffle/donation ✨🎅🏼🎄❤️

Lifestyles was founded in 1994 as a collaborative initiative between parents, community organizations, local business owners, and developmentally disabled adults (program participants). This partnership emerged from a shared understanding of the significant gap in services and opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities in Staten Island.
The primary goal of Lifestyles was to create programs that could provide individuals with real-world work experiences in actual, integrated community settings. This was in response to the recognition that many individuals with developmental disabilities were not receiving sufficient opportunities to interact with the broader community or engage in meaningful employment. By leveraging the resources and expertise of various stakeholders-parents who understood the specific needs of their loved ones, local business owners who saw the value of inclusive practices, and community organizations that were familiar with support systems-the program was designed to provide participants with realistic, hands-on job.

The collaborative efforts of these groups helped to develop a range of programs that placed participants in work environments where they could gain skills, build confidence, and become active contributors to the local economy. These settings were carefully chosen to ensure that the individuals could practice vocational skills while being supported by mentors or job coaches who helped them navigate the challenges of the workplace.

Lifestyles also recognized the importance of expanding beyond the immediate community, ensuring that individuals had access to opportunities outside Staten Island as well. This expanded their exposure and allowed for even greater integration into society at large, helping to break down stereotypes and promote inclusivity.

Overall, the creation of Lifestyles was a forward-thinking response to the challenges faced by people with developmental disabilities, emphasizing empowerment through work and community involvement. The program not only offered valuable vocational experiences but also fostered a sense of belonging and independence for its participants.

We thank you for your service to our community.
