Our Approach
Day Services
Walnut Street Center believes that every individual has the ability to learn and develop new skills.
Walnut Street Center believes that every program or support should be developed with the individual at the center of the process.
Our programs are tailored to meet the current level of each individual and provide them with access to the supports needed to assist them through the learning process.
