A day at the zoo is even better with a camera in hand! 📸 Eric from our ECF program loves taking photos, and this community outing gave him plenty of opportunities to do just that while exploring the zoo. #WavesServes #ECF #IDD #CommunityForAll #FranklinTN

Our Waves adults were back at the @wcanimalcenter this week, lending a hand and spending time with some four-legged friends! 🐾 Time with animals can create opportunities to practice communication, follow routines & learn through hands-on experiences. #WavesServes #IDD

More than a day program—it’s a community. 🫂 Our Franklin Day Program gives adults with IDD opportunities to spend time together & form friendships that make each day a little more special. We love seeing John & Van enjoying their time together! #WavesServes #IDD
