Community Based Day Supports Is a supportive program for adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities, which helps individuals develop, maintain and enhance their abilities and confidence in personal, social and community activities. Skill development activities are in the areas of communication, self-care, socialization, relationship-building, healthy living, self-advocacy and community involvement.
A major focus is to become involved in and contribute to the local neighborhood and community, spending time with other people with similar interests. The program supports the person who may have employment as a goal but who needs more support and instruction in order to be ready to obtain a desired job. Volunteer job opportunities are offered where the individuals can try out different types of work and see if it is a good match for them.
