Stroke Rehabilitation Program to Hold Open House

The Center for Life Skills — a program developed by Ithaca College to help individuals who have experienced a stroke or other neurological disorders — will hold an open house on Friday, December 8, from 10:00 a.m. to noon. Family and friends of participants as well as community members interested in learning more about the Center for Life Skills are invited to meet with staff and faculty of the program, which is housed at Longview.

Developed through the School of Health Sciences and Human Performance, the Center for Life Skills is intended for individuals who have been discharged from a formal rehabilitative program but need continued therapy to improve the quality of their everyday life. It features a highly individualized goal-setting program provided by Ithaca College faculty and students from a variety of allied health disciplines, including occupational therapy, physical therapy, therapeutic recreation, and speech-language pathology and audiology. The center is now accepting applications for its spring session, consisting of two and a half days of therapy per week beginning January 29 and running through May 4. There is a fee for the service. All sessions are held at Longview.
