For many families, the transition to adulthood raises new questions about daily routines, friendships, and opportunities for independence.

At CLA’s CLASS Day Program, adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities have opportunities to build connections, explore interests, and participate in meaningful community activities.

A typical day may include:
• Community outings
• Creative and recreational activities
• Social connection and friendships
• Skill-building experiences

The goal is to support individuals in living full, engaged lives—while staying connected to their community.

💬 What does a “good day” look like for your loved one?

We're grateful to share that CLA has received a $15,000 grant from the Lowe Fund, housed at The Denver Foundation.

This support helps strengthen community-based services for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, creating more opportunities for belonging, independence, connection, and meaningful community life.

Thank you to the Lowe Fund for investing in the people and programs that make this work possible.

Listening helps us grow.

At CLA, feedback from the people we serve and their families helps guide how our programs evolve.

We gather input through:
• Satisfaction surveys
• The Family Advisory Committee
• The PRS Advisory Group

These opportunities help ensure that the voices of individuals and families are reflected in the programs and services we provide.

Because the best services are built with the community—not just for the community.
