Community Services

For individuals 18 and older, we offer daytime skill and development services and supports Monday through Friday. We focus on developing independence, social skills, and self-advocacy with the purpose of moving program participants towards community employment or volunteerism.

The Discovery Process

Our goal is for each person to begin job exploration within two years of starting the program. Our staff works with each person to find a job that fits their skills, abilities, and interests.

To this end, we provide training in the following areas:

• Communication skills
• Positive behavior
• Daily living skills
• Following directions
• Focusing and completing tasks
• Small motor skill development
• Self-advocacy
• Assistive technology
• Computer Skills
• Appropriate interactions
• Social skills
• Problem solving skills
• Community and work safety
• Mobility
• Focus and completion of tasks
• Community exploration and integration

For the individuals we support, we strive to ensure that:

• Each person's abilities are maximized to contribute to their communities
• Communities grow to understand and accept people with disabilities
• Participants are taught workplace skills
• Participants not seeking a job are contributing to their communities through volunteerism
