life skills DEVELOPMENT

The Haven's life skills program, offered at both our Sarasota and Venice campuses, provide a supportive, educational, and social setting that is intended to champion adult clients 22 and beyond in their daily routines. Our goal is to foster the development of real-world proficiencies through community inclusion, volunteer opportunities and teaching of functional skills.  Clients with intellectual and developmental disabilities are able to gain essential skills that are needed to achieve their independence.  All activities and routines are planned by our seasoned team members to provide interest and inclusion for each individual person.

Clients are provided hand on experiences such as cooking, baking, cleaning, as well as opportunities to expand on transferable skills. While our ADT program does not offer direct therapy services, clients can receive outside therapy services such as PT, OT, speech and behavioral therapy while they attend the day program through community providers. Referrals available upon request.
