About Us
MITC began as a community-based program in September 2001. It serves as an alternative program for consumers who require innovative and non-traditional programming due to their uniquely challenging needs.
The site-based programming, which was added in October 2003, is meant to provide our individuals with additional training avenues as well as alternative training space when off-site activities are not permissible, i.e. severe weather conditions. Our on-site workshops also offer functional academics, arts and crafts, dance and movements, community BINGO, music and leisure, movie time, karaoke, tabletop games, cooking, and exercise classes. MITC consumers participate in a wide variety of social, leisure, and recreational activities such as community outings, educational trips to museums, zoos, malls, libraries and parks.
We also offer Emotional Creativity and Anger Management classes; Sign Language classes; themed programs and parties; leisure lunch at the backyard garden with a gazebo; art exhibits featuring consumers’ artworks; and programs that our consumers greatly enjoy and benefit from.

Mission Statement
Mission
MITC is committed to providing its consumers with a nurturing environment where individuals have access and opportunity to participate in and benefit from educational experiences both on-site and in the community.
Goals
MITC endeavors to provide intellectually stimulating developmentally appropriate instructional programming for each consumer; to hone consumers’ pre-vocational skills through hands-on training as they prepare for more meaningful work activities in the community (i.e. paid employment).
Learning Principles
MITC’s basic operating principle is influenced by Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences, which upholds among other theories, that people are intelligent in different ways. MITC believes that each individual is endowed with a unique intelligence and capabilities that can be tapped and developed to an optimum level.
