providing person-centered training to promote growth and independence of each participant

Community Day Services Program

Community Day Services focuses on personal, social, educational and vocational development at all ability levels. The training program includes education, community integration training, pre-vocational training, assistance with personal care and work opportunities.

Each day is planned around the individual.  The individual works with his or her case manager to set goals.  After goals are set by the individual, the support team works to plan an Individual Support Plan  (ISP)  in order to work toward the set goals.

We also offer two Community Day Services programs that promote community involvement:

• CAPS – Community Awareness, Possibilities, and Supports: offers daily learning opportunities, experiences, and activities within the community
• ECNO – Empowering Community Networking Opportunities: offers weekly opportunities to get out in the community each day by participating in various volunteer opportunities

Community Day Services are offered Monday-Friday 9:00am to 3:00pm. Transportation to and from the MRI facility is provided, if needed.
