Narrative

BAMSI offers a series of planned, goal-oriented supports designed to maximize each person’s potential. Services include:

• training in self-care
• communication
• social skills
• fine motor development

To promote community integration, Day Habilitation supports and encourages people  to volunteer, use community resources, develop travel skills and join community groups.

Day Habilitation serves adults aged 20 into their late 90s who have been diagnosed with a developmental disability (DD) that may include intellectual disability (ID), autism (ASD), head injury, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, mental health issues, orthopedic impairment, etc.

There is a medical component to each Day Habilitation program. We have a Registered Nurse at each site and a LPN also available at many locations. A Registered Nurse (RN) acts as the medical coordinator at each site. The RN works directly with the person’s doctor to ensure that all medical needs are met.

Supports include medical administration, medical treatments, G/J tube feedings, catheterization, and assisting with other complex medical needs. People also have access to therapeutic supports such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, behavior management, group therapy, individual counseling, and recommendations for and use of assistive technology.

Stoughton Day Habilitation serves approximately 50 individuals.
