Day Support, Center Based

Virginia Independence Training Organization's (VITO) Center-Based Day Support Program provides a planned day program for individuals with developmental and/ or autistic disabilities. Participants are involved in activities that promote social functioning and independence. Skills are also promoted that help maintain health such as self-care, hygiene, meal preparation and medication management. Recreational and social activities are jointly planned by participants with the staff. Activities provide opportunities to build basic skills for employment and independent living such as carrying out tasks, becoming a member of a group, communicating with peers and others and using community resources.



Each individual will be assessed to determine eligibility for a VITO Service.  Once accepted into the Program, the Individual’s strengths, needs, and preferences will be identified through Person-Centered Planning so that an Individual Service Plan (ISP) or Person-Centered Plan (PCP) can be developed.  The ISP/PCP will include identified outcomes so that the individual can live more independently.
