Services
All services we provide are for adults with developmental disabilities who are served through their local County Board of Developmental Disabilities.
Adult Day Support (ADS)- Community
If you are looking for a program that is fast-paced, adventurous, and fun, you've come to the right place! We offer programming on a variety of days and times, breaking away from the traditional Monday-Friday, 9-5 schedule. That's right, we provide services on evenings and weekends in addition to our daytime offerings. Our program is also fully mobile. We'll pick you and the rest of the crew up, head straight to our destination for a great time, and then drop you back off at home. Please note that ADS services are currently available for residents of Union & Logan County only.
Routine ADS
When you sign up for our program, you'll have the opportunity to choose a set, predictable schedule. We pride ourselves on offering a participant-driven schedule, where all services are provided to a maximum of four individuals at a time. All of our activities are decided by the group. This allows you to work together as a team to brainstorm ideas, discuss options, and finalize a monthly plan that works for everyone.
Special Event ADS
We're excited to offer special events outside of our regular ADS program hours! These events are a fantastic opportunity for us to explore different activities and create lasting memories together.
In the past, we've enjoyed a variety of outings, including:
* Fourth of July fireworks displays
* Columbus Blue Jackets and OSU Hockey games
* Wildlights at the Columbus Zoo
* Beach days
* Uptown Friday Night events
We aim to offer at least three special events each month, so there are always new and exciting experiences to look forward to!
Vocational Habilitation
Are you interested in finding a job in the community and enhancing your job skills while boosting your resume? Our Vocational Habilitation (Voc Hab) program might be a great fit for you! This 6-month program starts in August and meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays (times to be determined.) It includes one day of instruction per week and one day of volunteering, with a 1:4 staff-to-individual ratio.

* Build essential job skills for community employment.

Topics covered in the program include:
* Professionalism
* Communication
* Problem Solving
* Self-Advocacy
* Customer Service

Environmental Accessibility Adaptations (EAA)
We understand the importance of being able to safely live in your home. Examples of adaptions that we will bid include metal and wood ramps, widening doorways, grab bars and handrails, and handicap toilets. We offer this service to Union and the surrounding counties.
