Day Habilitation

The Power of Connection

Day Habilitation services provide people with disabilities the information, skills and support needed to participate in their communities. When appropriate these services wrap around community-based employment to fill gaps in a day, provide new experiences and increase social connection opportunities.

Goodwill Day Habilitation encourages participants to:

• Develop & Maintain Social Skills
• Learn Positive Behavior Management Strategies
• Engage in Activities that Promote Positive Physical & Emotional Health
• Build Important Daily Living Skills

Opportunities are provided in several meaningful activites, including gardening, art, music, volunteering and recreational/cultural experiences. Programming is tailored to each participant's expressed preferences and interests.

Participants attend on a full- or part-time basis, Monday through Friday, depending on their needs. Choice is an important part of the program schedule, which includes a combination of community-based and center-based activities.

Goodwill Day Habilitation services are available in Cedar Rapids, Davenport and Iowa City.
