Activity/Habilitation

Habilitation Groups
We support a number of individuals within four habilitation groups. Within these groups, individuals learn basic communication, self-care and social skills. Specialized supports may be in the areas of behavior, occupational therapy and personal care assistance. Each person has an individual plan that is implemented in a variety of ways, including participation in the community. To facilitate our mission of providing choices even to those who are unable to communicate with words, the staff provides varied experiences in which individuals can express in their own way to those who know them well, their likes and dislikes.

Activity Groups
While work is available on a limited basis, these individuals have chosen the activity groups to access social, leisure and recreational pursuits both within the Opportunity Center and in the community. Social aspects of making friends, getting along within a group and being a part of the community are emphasized through individual behavior support programs as needed. These groups are constantly on the go, utilizing community resources including River Valley Mall, the Family Y, Lowe’s wood crafting class and Alley Park craft classes.
