Here at New Beginnings for Life, we focus on the skills needed for Independent Living for the learning disabled young adult. Some of the services offered are cooking, cleaning your home, use of public transportation, personal hygiene, banking skills, finding and keeping a job, community service and environmental awareness. Some of our students attend Community College or private training in the area and we help them develop good study skills. In addition we offer sign language, reading skills and general language arts, as well as GED preparation.
On the lighter side, we have plenty of fun. Our environment is family-like and we offer a variety of arts and crafts, gardening, and fun outings. (See some of our photos on this site!)
Currently we have openings for women, and men in our 24 hour program, and will be starting a supported living program in Janurary. This program offers supported living in an apartment setting, in the Middletown & Norwich areas. If you feel you already have the ADL skills (cooking, cleaning, hygine, social etc.) needed to live on your own, but still require some support from staff, then this program is for you.
Don't want to live at home, but aren't quite ready to live on your own? We here at New Beginnings for Life LLC are a year round program dedicated to helping the learning disabled young adult acquire the needed skills for independent living. We are a small post-secondary Residential Program, and because of that, we are able to customize your needs to develope your skill levels. Upon completion at this level, we offer an "Advancement Program" in the community into your own apartment living situation. In the "supported Living Apartment Program", you will live independently or with one roomate, and only have a need for "part time" staff. This program is designed for the "Graduate" of the New Beginnings basic program or for anyone already prepared to live in the community with only part time staff support.

We have reciently expanded services to include non-amblitatory adults in wheelchairs, and those requiring a little help in ambulating. With the addition of the new ramp to the main house, it has opened the doors to that house for our wheelchair folks. We are also accepting the older generation who are looking for a special place, geared to the "retirement years", but who still like to get out and be active--all be it at a slower pace.
