Day Services
-
WDDS' Day Services offer a supportive environment through
three key programs: Employment, Day Respite, and Day Learning. The Employment
program empowers individuals with job training and essential workplace skills
via hands-on experiences. Day Respite provides a safe space for skill
development, relaxation and social interaction, allowing caregivers some
well-deserved time off. Meanwhile, the Day Learning program engages
participants in experiential and interactive activities focused on skill
development in a fun, recreational setting. Together, these programs promote
growth, independence, and enjoyment in daily life, helping to cultivate a
community where everybody belongs.
