Community Based Program
The goal of this program is to provide educational, leisure and community integration activities.
This Melbourne based program is offered Monday - Friday from 9:00 - 3:00, although program
participants decide which days to attend. During a daily morning meeting, program participants
choose from an array of activities to include bowling, line dancing, volunteering, shopping,
tennis and horse back riding. Other options include going to the zoo, plays and other special
activities offered throughout the community.
Program participants normally return to the Center
for lunch before heading out for afternoon activities. The program staff provide training and
assistance in the attainment of personal goals such as handling money, learning a new leisure
activity, and developing appropriate social skills while in the community.
Program participants must have the ability to be in a program where the client to staff ratio is three to one, and have a desire to participate in community-based activities.
