The good news is that there are programs out there that can help! Day Programs offer a variety of social and skill-building activities that can help adults with intellectual disabilities connect with others, learn new skills, and build confidence. If you or someone you love is struggling with social skills, consider enrolling in a day program today!

These relationships can provide much-needed support and friendship, which can help reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness. Direct Support Professionals assist individuals engage in structured activities to increase their overall engagement in their communities.
