Celebrating More Than 25 Years Serving Adults
With Differences in Clay County
BASCA’s mission is to improve the quality of life for individuals with intellectual and developmental differences in Northeast Florida.
Who We Are
BASCA focuses on helping individuals with intellectual and developmental differences achieve a higher quality of life and a sense of belonging. The organization was started by parents who were looking for programs that concentrated on their special needs children’s abilities. The desire was to have programs and services that offer each individual opportunities to learn how to lead a life that makes them feel complete. We build not just skills, but the confidence to go out into the job market, into the community, meet people, and help others by volunteering.
What We Do
BASCA has programs for adults with special needs including a day program for adults with developmental differences. In addition, we offer residential homes and vocational training for individuals
Life Skills Development
BASCA is proud of its innovative Life Skills Development Programs:
-Custom Creations with its adaptive safety equipment allows an individual to build saleable products such as benches, flower boxes, and recycling carts.
-Creative Learning Center & Fundamental Skills Center reinforces life and daily living skills, music, games, socialization, arts & crafts, and provides community outings.
-Garden Greenhouse is an exciting program for individuals to learn self-sufficiency, responsibility, and teamwork by growing vegetables each year.
L.I.F.E Homes - Living In A Family Environment
Residential Homes-two for women & two for men, allow a "living at home" atmosphere with each individual having their own bedroom, decorated in their personal style. House staff provides stability and continuity for the residents. Each home provides transportation to activities including doctor's appointments, activities, and work.
