| The Day Habilitation (Day Hab) program provides services and supports to assist individuals in achieving their maximum level of independence in daily living. The program has several sites, the main one being Sullivan Day Hab at 235 North Avenue. Programs operate Monday through Friday and a person may attend either full or part time. Transportation is provided to and from the programs by the Yates ARC Transportation Department. Day Hab programs provide training and assistance to enhance the person's independence and productivity in activities of daily living, communication, social skills, mobility, and community inclusion. Nursing services are available. The Sullivan Day Hab site also offers services in psychology, occupational and physical therapy.

Family members and others who know the person well are encouraged to participate, with trained staff, in this process. Day Hab has the flexibility to meet a variety of individual needs and interests as well as promoting increased community involvement. People are offered daily choices of recreational and social activities to enhance their skills. Volunteer opportunities are also available to foster mutually rewarding relationships within the local community. Who is Eligible to Participate:
