✨ So fresh and so clean! 🧼🪥

Our OPWDD Transitions team enjoyed collaborating with Mrs. Neice’s class from Olean High School to learn about the importance of personal hygiene and building healthy daily routines!

At D.I.L., we’re all about promoting independence, developing life skills, and creating meaningful connections within our community. 💙 Opportunities like these help individuals build confidence and strengthen the skills they need for everyday life.

A big thank you to Mrs. Neice and her class for learning and growing with us! 💙
