Adult Day Program

Welcome to our Adult Day Program, a unique and empowering environment designed for our friends with developmental disabilities. At our program, we strive to foster a sense of independence and autonomy by offering a dynamic curriculum that centres around entrepreneurial pursuits, community engagement, and skill development essential for workplace readiness.

​

Entrepreneurial Exploration:

Our program is committed to unleashing the creativity and potential within each of our friends. Through a structured yet flexible approach, friends are encouraged to develop their own business ideas. From conceptualization to execution, our friends engage in the entire process of product development. This includes brainstorming, designing, creating prototypes, and refining their products. Whether it's handmade crafts, innovative inventions, or artistic creations, our friends learn firsthand what it takes to bring an idea to market.

​

Market Presence and Online Sales:

To provide a real-world experience, we organize regular market events where our friends can showcase and sell their products. Additionally, we leverage the power of e-commerce to teach online sales skills, ensuring that our friends gain proficiency in managing virtual storefronts. This not only expands their reach but also introduces them to the broader concept of digital entrepreneurship.

​

Community Work Placements:

Recognizing the importance of community integration, our program offers work placements alongside workforce peers. Our friends have the opportunity to collaborate with a diverse range of individuals, fostering social skills, teamwork, and a sense of belonging. These placements are carefully chosen to match each friend's interests and strengths, allowing them to contribute meaningfully to the workforce while building valuable relationships.

​

Independence and Autonomy Development:

Central to our mission is the cultivation of independence and autonomy. Through targeted activities, our friends develop essential life skills, including reading, writing, money management, and time-telling, all within the context of workplace readiness. Our approach is tailored to each friend's needs, ensuring a supportive environment for growth. By acquiring these skills, our friends gain the confidence to navigate daily life, both in and outside the workplace.

​

Communication Skills:

Effective communication is a cornerstone of success in any endeavor. Our program places a strong emphasis on communication skills development, enabling our friends to express themselves clearly, collaborate with others, and engage with customers. Whether it's writing product descriptions, interacting with colleagues, or addressing customers at market events, our friends learn to communicate with confidence and poise.

​

Our Adult Day Program is a vibrant and inclusive community where our friends with developmental disabilities not only discover their entrepreneurial spirit but also build the skills necessary for independence and workplace success. Through a holistic approach that combines entrepreneurship, community engagement, and skill development, we empower our friends to lead fulfilling and purposeful lives.
