Common Ground runs Monday through Friday. Full-day sessions run 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Half-day sessions run either morning (9:00 am to 12:00 pm) or afternoon (12:00 pm to 3:00 pm), so families can ease in or work around therapies and appointments. Lunch runs 12:00–12:30, followed by enrichment, recreation, and wrap-up.

We support teens and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including autism, Down syndrome, and complex communication needs. Staff are trained in person-centered planning, and we build each person's day around their strengths.
Your monthly plan converts to day credits. Use them on whichever days suit your week, cancel a future day to get the credit back, and add a drop-in day whenever you need one more.
