Home & Community Habilitation

Home and Community Habilitation is a one-on-one program that allows individuals the opportunity to explore day activities and become active members of their community.

Participants concentrate on a wide array of everyday living skills such as safety, communication, choice, money management, and socialization while working to become more independant in their home and gain connections to their neighborhood.

Unlike other adult programs, Home and Community Habilitation is based out of individual's homes and allows greater flexibilty and connection to community activities and resources. Many individuals choose to ultilize their independence and time outside of the home volunteering at local organizations as a way to not only pursue their personal interests, but to also give back to their community.

Popular activities include:

Volunteering at food pantries
Taking arts and crafts classes
Attending Public Library Events
