contract with private agencies.

Habilitation program offers training for the more challenged individuals.

self-help skills to computer training. We
work with individuals to increase their social skills as we work in a group
setting. We offer group exercise
and arts & crafts. Our
Adult Basic Education program works on trainings that will aid a person in
becoming independent. Academic
skills are taught in a group setting but also each individual will have his or
her own individualized training time to work on skills they wish to develop.
. MR Supported Employment
Our
Supported Employment Program works with our customer to obtain a job in his/her
community based on strengths and desires of that customer.
This process starts from an assessment from which a strategy is
developed. We work on many aspects
of employment from filling out an application to appropriate hygiene skills.
Specific job skills are taught as they apply to the job.
Once
a customer obtains a job in a community setting, we then work with his/her
employer to transition our customer into the work environment.
We offer training, support and guidance to our customer and the
customer’s employer. As this
process progresses we begin to gradually decrease our support.
Our goal is for our customer to work in the job with as minimal
assistance as possible so that the customer will be an independent member of the
community.
