Excentia strives to enable people with intellectual disabilities to live as independently as possible. Programs work to meet needs across the lifespan, and include therapeutic and educational early childhood services, a life enrichment program, and a residential community. The After School program, for students ages 13 to 21, enables teens to get involved in the community by participating in activities like trips to the mall, arcade, museums, and art galleries. Excentia also offers a number of adult programs, such as:
Adult Day (a daytime program for adults 21+ with monthly outings)
Circle of Friends (a recreational program for adults held on evenings and weekends)
