Helps fill a pressing need in the community by providing services to individuals who need, but have not found, a placement in an appropriate day program after aging out of educational entitlements. Offers an individualized program of activities and training based on each participant’s assessment and goals. Serves as a portal for individuals and their families, introducing them to a broad range of community resources which will, in most cases, include an introduction to and collaboration with outside vocational or day habilitation programs.
