Com. Hab. supports Tyrnell Marks. He is very artistic. Tyrnell’s passion is art. He finds pleasure with working with his hands to demonstrate his
gift. Tyrnell can create sculptures made entirely of rubber bands. Tyrnell has a box of different types of sculptures he made. One day, in the
future, he would like to be able to sell them. He creates comic books with both animations and story lines. Tyrnell writes stories through his art and will put on display to express his art. Tyrnell has a Facebook page that showcases his art in hopes of linking with other local artists.
James Marino began attending the Abbott Day Hab back in July of 2019, shortly after moving into his own home at the Jennings IRA. With many fears of
transition and struggles with change in routine, to our surprise James fit in perfectly with the Abbott team. James is a young man that displays many gifts and talents, but his artistic abilities top them all! James enjoys drawing characters, creating chalk masterpieces and has been gracious enough to design CSE1’s holiday card. James was one of our inspirations of applying for the Foundation Mini-Grant to create “the Abbott Art Studio.” The team was awarded the grant and with the help of James and his friends they created a beautiful abstract wall to emphasize the art studio. James is an extraordinary young man, and we are lucky to be a part of his growth and development.
Colin Brawdy has been a part of CSE1 for many years and has explored many programs in hopes to find one that was a good fit for his personality. When Colin began attending the Abbott day hab, he knew it was the right fit for him. Although he experienced some growing pains, he has become much more independent and is developing some strong meaningful relationships with others. Colin is showing a greater interest in exploring new things and has been extremely fond of volunteering in his community through the Meals on Wheels program. He is learning the benefits of how his hard work is supporting others in his local community. Colin has recently joined cooking class and participates in weekly social group to share each other’s thoughts and ideas. Colin continues to be a great addition to the Abbott Day Hab and we look forward to supporting him with exploring new things.
