On July 31, our students and staff explored York's Wild Kingdom animal park in York Beach, Maine. This field trip offered many new experiences for our students: petting animals, riding a paddle-boat, observing wildlife, and even riding in a go cart--with our instructors at the wheel, of course! Our skilled clinical instructors, special educators, and behavior analysts helped our students navigate through the crowds, don their life preservers, and tolerate the unfamiliar smells and sounds of the park.
"Everyone was involved and engaged!" says Executive Director
Christine Guarino. "I saw our students stretching their limits and enjoying their triumphs. I saw students holding the hands of other students, looking into their faces and smiling. I'll never forget this trip!"
