LEARN MORE ABOUT PROGRAMS FOR EXCEPTIONAL PEOPLE
Welcome to Programs for Exceptional People (PEP). A non-profit organization celebrating its 25th anniversary where people with developmental, physical and intellectual disabilities enhance their lives through socialization, literacy and vocational training. A place where individuals thrive, also teaching those with whom they interact. A place where hate does not exist. A place where the mind, spirit and body receive individual attention, empowering their uniqueness and enhancing their beauty. A place where a smile connects the world to the beautiful heart and soul of a person. This is PEP. If you are looking for a place to TRUST your loved one to – PEP is the place. Our staff of loving and caring individuals have devoted their lives to the happiness and wellbeing of our members.
