2. Currently Children and Family Services (CFS) offers the following services: 1) Home based Therapeutic Services (HBTS), 2) Personal Assistance and Support Services (PASS), 3) Enhanced Outpatient Services (EOS). Our HBTS program is family-centered and our treatment philosophy is strength-based. The program continues the tradition of this agency of helping people with disabilities live in the least restrictive, most integrated setting possible. Family-centered service delivery sees the family as the unit of attention and organizes assistance in a collaborative fashion, taking into account the individual family's wishes, strengths, and needs.

3. UCPRI offers an Adaptive Arts Program in different formats and localities. The first is community based and is offered at the Main Office. Individuals already supported by UCPRI and people from the community participate in adaptive art classes in three different classes. The second format occurs in the Slater Hospital System at both the Zambarano and Cranston campuses. In both formats, different mediums of artist expression are explored and people have the opportunity to sell their work at different sales and shows throughout the year. Artists benefit from increased self-esteem by creating and selling their work. The benefits of an expression in a hospital setting are well documented and are seen in the patients in the Slater Hospital Program. In addition UCPRI coordinates music and pet therapies at the local hospitals. The benefits of both therapies are well documented.
