Program Components

Nu-Opps offers a structured, goal-oriented program of health and therapeutic services to facilitate independent living and self-management.

A Trio of Therapies for Daily Progress

Growth is encouraged through personalized schedules with a focus on physical therapy (PT), occupational therapy (OT), and speech language pathology (SLP).

BCArc’s on-site clinicians provide evaluations on each individual for all three areas. Those evaluations and recommendations from the clinicians are applied to daily active treatment. This may include walking, daily PT exercises, and working on endurance in the gym.

Core Focus: The Seven Needs

The Seven Needs areas are quintessential focus areas of our program, which are:

• Self-help Development
• Sensorimotor Development
• Communication Development
• Social Development
• Independent Living Development
• Affective Development
• Behavior Development

Our Mission: To Exceed Your Goals.

For each individual, the overall goal is to accomplish community reintegration as determined by the person’s strengths, preferences, interests, and desires.

The Intentionality Behind Our Activities

At Nu-Opps, everything is intentional; this philosophy remains true with the daily activities performed.

From community outreach opportunities with occasional lunch on the town, art-based activities with CATA (Community Access to the Arts), and even adaptive cycling and kayaking, there are activities for everyone, all rooted in intention. On-site activities are just as engaging with brain games, cooking club, art, and socialization.

This philosophy allows our individuals to not only grow in their skills but also enjoy organic enrichment.
