Practical examples and real life scenarios are incorporated into the curriculum, creating exercises that strengthen both educational skills and community integration principles.
Home Management
Day Services works together with the participant's residential support program to help promote independence within the home.
Health and Fitness
Physical health and well-being are an integral part of a happy and successful day. Studies show that in addition to improving gross motor skills regular physical exercise improves concentration, attention span, problem solving, and many other cognitive functions. A regular physical fitness routine is incorporated into each participant's day programming, based on individual ability.
