The Enhanced Day Habilitation progam
provides adults with developmental disabilities with a variety of
activities that stimulate senses, teach functional skills, provide
meaningful recreation, and further develop physical abilities. This
is accomplished through small staff to participant ratios, Speech,
Occupational, and Physical Therapies provided on site, as well as
a variety of adaptive devices and equipment used to decrease participants'
physical limitations. The Enhanced Day Habilitation program utilizes
the local community to assist in introducing the participant to
new experiences and opportunities, and as a means of introducing
the public to persons with disabilities.
