Mill Neck Services Respite Program
Sign of the Times Café is a source of socialization for adults that are Deaf/Hard of Hearing with developmental disabilities and live at home with families. We get together on a weekly basis on Wednesday evening each week. Occasionally, we will get together at other times for special events. Sign of the Times Café offers many opportunities to explore local communities and gain access to everyday activities with peers.
