Many of us take going out to eat at a restaurant for granted. For our patients, it can be exciting, but also challenging. We recently took one of our patients to Benihana. It was this patient's first time dining here, and it was a thrilling visit for her! Money management and decision making skills were put to the test, which the patient did very well with! It's so rewarding to see our patients happy and thriving from the services we provide. :)
