Adults with an Intellectual Disability
TREC is a recreation-based program developed to meet the unique needs of transition-aged
individuals with an intellectual disability who desire to reach their full potential through recreational
and leisure activities and community involvement. The program provides opportunities
which challenge the individual but also ensures success and a positive experience. TREC
strives to maintain and develop social skills and life skills in order to provide individuals with
positive experiences within their community, and assist with the transitions occurring in their
post-school years of life. TREC provides opportunities for self-discovery, self-advocacy and fun
through community-based volunteer opportunities, recreation activities and peer interactions.
