Day Habilitation
Day Habilitation is a community-based program that provides long-term personal & social development opportunities within a structured environment for individuals with developmental disabilities, mental health diagnoses, or intelectual disabilities who are unable to function in social or recreational settings. Services are available on an hourly or daily basis & may include daily living skills instruction, art therapy, meditation, recreational & social activities, exercises to improve coordination and other forms of developmental support which help participants develop and maintain the functional skills that are required for community involvement, self-advocacy and self-care.
