On July 7, we invited 10 families to have a candle making project! As a part of our Interest Discovery project, we provided this special time for individuals with developmental disabilities to explore different job options. By watching, learning, and making the candles together, they also had a great time bonding and communicating with each other. We look forward to having more families participate and candle-ing together in the near future π
