Day Habilitation & Independent Living Resources
What is Day Habilitation?
Day habilitation programs help people work on their own goals. These programs happen during weekdays, usually for 5 or 6 hours a day at a place in the community. They might also be called adult day care or day services. Participants do activities to learn important skills:
Daily living skills such as cooking, cleaning, money management, communication and safety
Personal care
Social skills and relationships
Job skills and work practice, sometimes called “readiness for employment skills”
Positive behavior
Creative and artistic skills
Independence and personal choice
Occupational therapy (OT) and physical therapy (PT)
Each day habilitation program is different. They often focus on connecting participants to the community and to jobs or job skills.
If your child is in a group home, that group home might use a day habilitation program for its residents.
There are day habilitation programs that also have residential programs where a young adult lives. These programs charge fees. You and your young adult should weigh their options and choose what best fits the family as a whole. Your young adult may choose other housing options instead.
