Adult Training Facility and Community Based Day Services, Virginia Beach

Merakey's Adult Training Facility (ATF) is a specialized, center-based program for adults with developmental or intellectual disabilities that offers participants opportunities for enrichment in all aspects of functional skills. Participants are offered a variety of interesting and purposeful activities to do during the day. Community service is often a part of this service. An ATF can lead to a more independent type of day program.

Individuals who do not wish to attend a center-based program or who have better success in a less structured physical environment can choose a day program designed to promote more community exposure. Individuals are accompanied by program assistants who provide skill development in community access, recreational and volunteer activities, social skills, and mobility training.
