Sensory rooms are used as a therapeutic and educational tool for those with disabilities.
The Providence Center will benefit from a $24,500 grant provided by the Civitan Foundation for use in sensory equipment at the center's Arnold location. The grant was awarded from contributions by the Glen Burnie and Annapolis area Civitan Clubs, and will be used to purchase equipment for the center's non ambulatory participants—among them seniors with dementia and autism, as well as for sensory room equipment, according to a release. The Providence Center's CEO Chuck Coble said the group was grateful for the generous contribution. “We are humbled by the funding from the civitans, who continually demonstrate their dedication to improving our communities,” Coble said. “The civitans do so much good in our communities, and we are proud to …

The bat houses were made by adults with developmental disabilities.
Two bat houses used to help drive down the mosquito population were donated to Anne Arundel County councilmen on Monday by the Providence Center. Councilman Dick Ladd (R-5th District) said he had encouraged the Providence Center to use its woodworking skills to do something about bats. And on Monday night, the center delivered on that promise. "In my travels over the last few years talking to people who have had stormwater runoff projects put in their home, we always seemed to talk about the problem of mosquitos," Ladd said. The bat houses give bats a place to live instead of garages or buildings. The two houses were presented to the council on Monday by Jeremy Flowers, a woodworker and a participant of the Providence Center, which serves…

Providence Center’s pottery studio participants learn important skills about integrating into the community.
Tucked behind the Safeway next to the Arnold Senior Center sits a modest brown building that houses the Providence Center’s pottery studio. Its exterior is unremarkable and a bit worn. Step through the entryway of the studio, though, and the unremarkable exterior quickly fades away. Inside is a group of enthusiastic adults, known as “participants,” who work in the center’s pottery program. Twenty-some participants gather in the studio each morning to shape and cast bowls, mugs, pitchers and other ceramics. What’s remarkable though is that decades ago, many of these adults with developmental disabilities might have been institutionalized for life. With Providence’s pottery studio, along with its other programs, these adults are now working …
