Opportunities Unlimited Day Services, Developmental Disabilities

Colonial Behavioral Health's (CBH) Day Services program provides personal, social, and behavioral skills training for persons with developmental disabilities in order to help them improve the quality of their daily lives. Through skills assessment and person-centered planning, the Day Support program strives to facilitate self-empowerment, community integration, and independent living. Two types of day services are offered:

• Community Engagement: Fosters an individual's ability to acquire, retain or improve skills necessary to build positive social behavior, interpersonal competence, greater independence, employability, and personal choice. This program enables the individual to access typical activities in community life enjoyed by the general population such as education or training, retirement, and volunteer activities. This program is provided in groups with no more than a 1:3 staff-to-individual ratio.
• Group Day Services: Provides opportunities for peer interactions, community integration, career planning, and enhancement of social networks. Supports may be provided to ensure individual health and safety. These services are provided in groups with no more than a 1:7 staff-to-individual ratio.

Transportation is available through Colonial Behavioral Health's Transportation Service or arrangements can be made for transport by a private provider. Participation in services is based on the individual's preferences.
