DAY TRAINING PROGRAM

Day training is a program that teaches valuable skills through training or gives individuals the opportunity to participate in various activities.  Though day training programs generally take place at a center, groups may participate in activities that take them out into the community.  Some individuals may require all day programs (about six hours, five days a week), while others may be successful with just a part time program.

Day training programs give individuals the opportunity to learn personal skills such as self care, and daily living skills such as staying healthy or balancing a check book.  Some day training centers have activities in place that teach not only job related skills but communication skills, social skills, and advocacy while others may provide sensory stimulation, or music and art therapies to help individuals learn valuable skills.
