Day Habilitation

Northeast Arc Day Habilitation (Day Hab) programs provide assistance with the acquisition, retention, and improvement of self-help, socialization, and adaptive skills. 

Supports are arranged based upon a individual’s personal goals and dreams. Individualized Day Hab plans are developed to focus on the skills and activities that best suit each participant. Clinical supports and consultations are woven into daily activities by our team of nurses, occupational therapists and physical therapists.
