ADT Work Services

Adult Day Training services offers adults with developmental disabilities skill acquisition in the areas of communication, activities of daily living, socialization, safety awareness and vocational skills training.  Community integration is an important aspact of the ADT Program.

 A U. S. Department of Labor Work Activity Center is operated by The Opportunity Center.  Individuals participating in the work services program earn wages based on productivity levels and learn valuable work skills and habits. 

Examples of sub-contract work available are bulk mailing, packaging, tagging, collating, and assembly.               

Recognizing the importance of community integration, The Opportunity Center develops contracts that enable our participants to work in the community in activities such as maintenance crews, retail sales, and the plant nursery.

Motor Sensory

Individuals requiring more extensive services are offered training in areas of personal care, pre-vocational skills, and activities of daily living.  Participants are provided personal care including toileting, feeding, and other areas of personal management.  Positioning is available under the oversight of a physical therapist, if this service is included in the individual's support plan.  Participants in this area receive a much higher staff to client ratio--either 1:5 or 1:3.

Transportation

Transportation to and from the workshop for program participants is available!
