| DAY
TREATMENT SERVICES
The ACADIA Day Treatment Program provides a structured day
designed to assist the individual with a neurological impairment
in developing adaptive skills that can enable him/her to
resume effective community living. Programming focuses on
specific clinical evaluations and therapies, pre- vocational
needs, interpersonal and social relationships, family, community,
educational and work adjustments. The program is individualized
to each person's specific needs, criterion-based and goal-oriented.
Multi-sensory training intervention may be
provided and various individualized programming and strategies
are used in addressing the physical, cognitive, behavioral,
social and daily living skills. These re-learned or adaptive
life skills are applied and assessed in real life settings.
Thus, part of ACADIA's programming takes place in stores,
restaurants, banks, on buses, and other environs in which
the individual may be challenged as he or she develops increased
independence. In addition to group programming, individualized
therapy is provided by the ACADIA team.
We have designed programs to assist individuals
to develop functional life skills and behaviors. Services
address issues of community living ranging from self-care,
activities of daily living, physical, cognitive and behavioral
functioning to pre-vocational skill development.
