Day Program Information

Program Details

Program focuses on critical thinking skills involving problem-solving, time-sensitivity, and adaptivity.

Program is geared towards disabled adults who have the self-determination, desire to learn life skills or improve on the skills they possess, and view their lives transitioning towards an independent life-style.

Program focuses and embraces integrating disabled adults into our community. One main objective is mode of transportation, we utilize Green Bay Metro System daily.

Quality over Quantity: I believe having adequate invested time with the individuals we serve is the best approach. No more than 9 participants are enrolled per day to ensure this quality is met.

Developing responsible, respectful, and resourceful adults is a key element of Promoting Abilities.

Program focuses on retraining disabled adults from having others taking care of everything for them, to then slowly transitioning into that role of independence.
