Providing services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities since 1956

Day Habilitation at Chestnut Street

The Day Habilitation program is designed to expand each participant's independence and experience by providing personalized schedules and customized materials which are motivating and rewarding. We use a person-centered approach and philosophy in our programs and services. Participants benefit from person-centered planning, individualized instruction, structure and a variety of challenging activities in varied environments. The program is committed to maximizing choice, dignity, independence, community inclusion, and opportunities for people with significant cognitive, physical and intellectual disabilities.

Our Day Habilitation program is located at 56 Chestnut Street in Waltham and provides training in fine motor skills, personal care, leisure skills, community access, horticulture, communication skills, socialization, and exercise/large motor skills in varied environments. Referral/coordination of ancillary services, and individual service plans are also provided. Therapeutic services are available, including: nursing, physical therapy, speech, language and communication therapy, occupational therapy, behavioral consultation, mobility, and expressive therapy.

Day Habilitation serves adults with significant developmental, physical, and other disabilities who can benefit from a structured program that focuses on increasing functional skill development with therapeutic and health supports provided in varied environments. Equipment is adapted or modified by our consultants to enable the participants to use materials as independently as possible.

Using a comprehensive assessment of each participant's unique skills, preferences and learning style, our team develops detailed service plans that include an individualized schedule of daily training and therapeutic activities that are implemented across program environments. Community and volunteer activities are scheduled to broaden participants' skills in varied adult roles.
