The Center operates a therapeutic recreation program weekly for adult residents of Passaic County with disabilities and the frail elderly. DIAL has been providing therapeutic recreation services to Passaic County residents with disabilities since 1997 and serves 70-75 consumers, providing 2800 service contacts annually.  This program is an essential community link for individuals who are isolated with limited social contact and supports. The program is funded by the Passaic County Board of County Commissioners via the Department of Human Services and the City of Clifton, Community Development Department. 

The program has been a highly utilized modality and has consistently provided participants with a wide range of therapeutic recreation activities and programs. The program has regularly offered trips in the community to accessible facilities focusing on a wide variety of recreational and social experiences such as college art galleries, museums, community theaters and bowling. A variety of programs have been offered on pet therapy, music therapy, arts and crafts, health education, home economics, and horticulture. Referrals to the program may be initiated via individuals, family members, provider agencies or nursing facilities.  For more information on accessing program services please call Susan Kramer, Program Coordinator at (973) 470-8090 x306 or send an e-mail to info@dial-cil.org and please write "Recreation Program" in the subject line.
