Take 5!
About
Take 5 is a program designed by Temple University. Parents that have children with a disability often find themselves wore out. We want to help stop this. Our program is funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Clarion University Rehabilitation Club applied for a grant to get this program up and running and we were lucky enough to be accepted. Want to learn more about our program? Come join us for an orientation. We will also conduct interviews to learn more about your children. Bring the kids as well as we will have students there to hang out with them.
