ADULT TRAINING FACILITIES

Dedicated DEC staff enhance the quality of life of the people served in these day programs through the development of sensory/perceptual motor skills, stimulating each individual's senses, and providing an important link to his or her environment. The staff also helps individuals develop living skills such as housekeeping, shopping, cooking, and other activities that promote self-reliance and integration in the surrounding community, and intellectual skills including basic academics, and pre-vocational skills.
