The Day Supports program is designed to provide assistance and support to individuals with intellectual/ developmental disabilities. Its primary objective is to help these individuals acquire, maintain, and enhance their independence in various areas, including self-help, socialization, adaptive skills, and pre-vocational skills.
One specific example of a Day Supports program is the Innovations- Day Supports. To be eligible for admission into this program, individuals must meet the admission standards set by OE Enterprises, the organization overseeing the program. These standards typically include a requirement that the individual does not pose a danger to themselves or others. These services are coordinated through a person-centered planning process, where goals and objectives are identified and documented in an Individual Support Plan.
The Day Supports component of the Innovations program would focus on supporting the individual in achieving the goals outlined in their support plan. This may involve providing assistance and training in areas such as self-help skills (e.g., personal hygiene, grooming), socialization (e.g., interacting with others, participating in community activities), adaptive skills (e.g., managing daily routines, problem-solving), and pre-vocational skills (e.g., job readiness, basic work tasks).
Overall, the Day Supports program aims to promote independence and overall well-being for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities, helping them to lead fulfilling lives and participate actively in their communities.
