NDVS/SB hosts an annual Family Weekend for the families we serve,
allowing families to connect and learn from each other as well as from regional
and national speakers and presenters. We place a high importance on empowering
parents as equal partners by helping them build positive attitudes and high
expectations.

Sweeping
Note. During high school weeks, the teens stay in apartments on-site where they
cook meals and clean up after themselves. This is a great opportunity to practice
independent living skills. Image Description: A teenage boy leans over as he holds
a broom and sweeps underneath a sink, bringing the broom towards him. A sink
with dishes, a microwave, a mixing bowl, an oven, a block of kitchen knives, and
various other kitchen items can be seen in the background on the countertop and
table. The boy has black hair and is wearing a green sweatshirt and black track
pants with a white stripe down the leg.
