Adult Programs

The Clelian Center adult day facility provides participants with a variety of training experiences within its three-program component:

1) Employment Services which assist adults in matching their skills to available community employment positions and acquiring a position, provide specific on-site job training, assist with transportation and ongoing support for retaining employment in the community.

2) Business Services in which the Clelian Center adults contract with local business and industry to perform a service such as bulk mailing, packaging, assembling, etc.   Included in these service are the work of the commercial laundry and the production of the Captain and Sandy Gourmet Dog Biscuits and Scentsation soaps.

Each adult is given the opportunity to learn the skills necessary for employment in the community including: following directions, time management, scheduling, learning new tasks, accuracy in completing a task, good work habits, and appropriate social skills.

Each client has an Individual Work Program Plan (IWPP). Each is encouraged to experience a variety of employment opportunities to match their abilities and desires. As they learn and work, meaningful skills are being acquired building self-esteem and promoting independence.

3) ATF – Adult Training Facility Services which gives adults training in functional personal living and life skills.
