Supportive, Habilitation and Occupational Program (SHOP)

The Supportive, Habilitation & Occupational Program (SHOP) offers Day Support Services to individuals with a primary developmental disability and a co-occurring mental health or substance use disorder. Services may also include supported employment as well as vocational services.

Participants are involved in activities that promote social functioning and independence. Skills are 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.
