Group programs are also offered as demand warrants, for example, microwave cooking and summer ADL sessions for students. Occupational therapists are also called upon for ADL consultation and teaching when their expertise is required. To facilitate learning, the MAB has an apartment completely adapted for low vision training, which is used for demonstrations, instruction and testing. In this supervised setting, clients may live on their own for up to two weeks in order to test their independence skills. Intervention, in areas including sensory integration, and perceptual-cognitive, gross and fine motor skill, etc., is available to clients of all ages, in individual or group sessions.
Clients are welcome to use the craft room and the weaving room.
Talented volunteers teach clients interested in learning piano or guitar, a second or third language, or even how to operate a ham radio. When appropriate, clients are encouraged to keep fit by participating in physical exercise programs. The MAB rehabilitation staff are involved in the assessment and training of clients to whom they dispense aids and devices under the program.
