A Gift with History ⌛
RAAI began 50 years ago—not long after RACSB’s own launch in 1970, its leaders recognized a huge gap in community services. At the time, special education was fairly new, and the first waves of students receiving disability services were graduating. However, once they left school, specialized services ended.
These students had been provided opportunities for developing skills and hobbies. And then, they were sitting at home with nowhere to go. Their families and caregivers often gave up careers to care for them during the day. Sometimes, families turned to institutions when they didn’t have the resources to provide daily supervision.
Day programs for adults with developmental disabilities were relatively new to America at that time, and completely new to our region. But RACSB has a long history of providing innovative services to meet community needs. And, so the agency launched Rappahannock Adult Activities 50 years ago.
For five decades, the program has pioneered person-centered care, offering opportunities for participants to grow, develop, and thrive.
