Adult Day Programs

ADULT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (ADP)

The Adult Development Program helps individuals gain basic work and work-related skills in a structured job-like setting. Clients receive vocational training, while focusing on goals such as mobility, daily living, and communication skills. Depending on the degree of physical disabilities, adaptive devices, often custom made by our occupational therapy staff, may be used to improve an individual's independent functioning. This program is licensed by the PA Department of Public Welfare as a Vocational Facility.

ADULT TRAINING PROGRAM (ATP)

Within an educational setting, adults in ATP focus on improving functional communication, socialization, and pre-vocational skills. Large and small groups are facilitated by staff and provide a variety of opportunities for participation. Based on an individual's strengths, needs, and goals, activities may include current events discussion, art, music and movement, gardening and education. With a low staff to individual ratio, the appropriate support and attention is given to each participant. This program is licensed by the PA Department of Public Welfare as an Adult Training Facility.
