Narrative

The Fundamental Responding Skills program provides services to adults with developmental disabilities which results in substantial functioning limitations in 3 or more major areas: self-care, language, learning, mobility, self-direction, and the capacity for independent living and economic selfsufficiency. These individuals need more active treatment than is typically available through outpatient visits. Active treatment sets forth measurable goals and objectives, and prescribes an integrated program of activities and therapies necessary to reach the stated goals and objectives specified in the Day Habilitation Service Plan. Our main goal is to incorporate social, recreational, and community activity skills.

Our program focuses on maximizing a person’s independence in areas of:

 Daily living skills
