- There are also daily, weekly and monthly activities offered in both program areas to offer clients to make choices in what they do during the day while attending either Day Service.
Alternative Day Program (ADP)
-
This serves clients who wish to focus on daily living skills to include motor skills and social skills rather than employment training.
Day Service Program
- Clients earn minimum wage doing enclave work to include, taking inventory and servicing several vending machines that RRI owns throughout Leavenworth County
- Our Day Service clients also have the choice to earn an hourly wage doing janitorial work at a couple of properties located in Leavenworth County.
Total Support
A staff person is assisting a person served with their lunch in ADP. Some people need total assistance in doing everyday tasks.
Hand over Hand
A person served receives some hand over hand assistance from a staff person to paint dots on an arts and crafts project.
Verbal Prompting
Moving on from hand over hand assistance, a person served builds the muscle memory needed in order to complete tasks on their own to their level of independence.
Teamwork makes the dream work!
