Details:Get into the holiday spirit at Independence First's Santa's Workshop! Join us for a festive day of creativity, treats, and holiday fun as we celebrate the season and explore ways to make holiday traditions more accessible for everyone.
Participants will have the opportunity to create handmade gifts for someone special, decorate holiday cookies, and enjoy hot cocoa. We'll also explore adaptive techniques for wrapping and opening presents, helping people with disabilities participate more independently in holiday activities.
And who knows? Santa himself might make a surprise appearance!
