Day habilitation is a Medicaid Waiver program that focuses on utilizing community resources. Activities in this program are consumer driven through the choices they make and the desires they express. While more choices and opportunities for each person are offered, the program is continually moving toward the optimum continuum of care. Day Habilitation allows us to take further steps for the people we serve along the entire normalization process. Day Habilitation services are designed to assist program participants in achieving satisfying relationships within their community. Services in this program are individualized for each person and are flexible enough to be provided almost anywhere in the community that a person may wish to learn a new skill. Day Habilitation is also active with volunteerism in the community. The Day Habilitation program focuses on increasing self advocacy through expressing barriers that are identified when in the community.
