Our Day program for adults 18 and older impacted by disability.

  • Participants should be able to manage their own toileting and eating needs independently.

  • Our program is designed for individuals who thrive in a 1:4 support ratio; we are not able to provide 1:1 support.

  • To ensure a safe and positive environment for all, participants should be able to engage without aggressive behaviors.

  • Participants should be able to manage their daily needs without specialized medical care.

Please complete the intake form with as much detail as possible.

The more information you provide, the better our program staff can get to know your adult and support their individual needs, interests, and goals.

We kindly ask that you complete every section of the form, even if you feel some information may not be relevant.

Thorough and accurate information helps us create the best possible experience for your adult.

Thank you for taking the time to complete this.
