Important Information

For a positive and successful experience for all participants, HLC may not be the best fit for individuals who:

​

  • Require ongoing 1:1 support or direct supervision to participate in a group

  • Have difficulty engaging in group discussions or activities

  • Are currently experiencing behaviors that may disrupt or impact the safety and learning of others

  • Would benefit more from a highly individualized or therapeutic-based program at this time

 

We understand that every individual is on their own journey. If HLC is not the right fit right now, we are happy to help guide families toward programs that may better meet their current needs."
