Day Habilitation

Day Habilitation offers individuals the opportunity to be more active and interactive in the community. Day Habilitation Services provides individuals with disabilities an opportunity to enhance their own levels of independence in an environment that is entirely person-centered within an individual's local community. New experiences, challenges and responsibilities increase independence and social interactions, allowing people to make better choices about their lives.

Our staff works with each individual to determine their likes and interests to develop a service plan. There is no "program" to fit into. The services are developed around what the individual wants. A person-centered approach is the key concept to our Day Hab services. Participants may choose to volunteer at a local not-for-profit organization to develop work skills or because they like to help others. Recreation activities serve to increase socialization and community awareness. Other activities are used to increase independence in the community in areas such as shopping or ordering in a restaurant. Plans are developed by everyone involved in the person's life. At least twice a year the service plan is evaluated, and if needed, modified to ensure that the individual is receiving the services they want and which will benefit them.
