DAY HABILITATION SERVICES - WITH & WITHOUT WALLS
Day Habilitation programs are offered to individuals who live in residential settings as well as by themselves or with family. These programs include purposeful and meaningful activities and are designed to foster the acquisition of living skills, appropriate behavior, greater independence and personal choice.

Day Habilitation Without Walls
Day Habilitation Without Walls offers participants the ability to integrate into their local community through various daily planned events. These person-centered activities are based on the wants and needs of the individual and their family. Participants develop social, interpersonal, communication, work and problem solving skills. These community-based life skills are achieved through volunteer work, peer activities, physical exercise, travel planning, participation in art and cultural activities, learning money management skills and more.
