ServiceSource provides a community-based day program for individuals with intellectual disability, developmental and physical disabilities. Participants are involved in activities that promote social functioning and becoming part of the community. Skills are also promoted that help maintain health such as self-care, hygiene, eating, toileting, and the management of medication. Recreational and social activities are planned by the members of the staff. The activities provide opportunities to build basic skills for employment such as how to carry out tasks, become a member of a group, communicate with peers and others and use community resources. At some sites, rehabilitation engineering and nursing services are available.

Participants are integrated back into the community in which they live through a variety of volunteer and paid opportunities. Life skills training is provided in a community setting at a home in Annandale called Annandale House. his home is used by different day programs for the training of life skills in a community setting.
