Adult Day Training

Focused on basic life skills of residential proficiency, Duvall Homes provides a comprehensive Life Skills Program as part of its Adult Day Training (ADT). Taking place in its Opportunities Enrichment Center in Glenwood, Florida, our ADT programming was developed to help individuals with developmental disabilities learn self-sufficiency and to be as independent as potentially possible. Adult Day Training services stress training in the activities of daily living, self advocacy, adaptive and social skills and are age and culturally appropriate.

Life skills are taught in a classroom setting that simulates a studio apartment equipped with standard appliances and utensils essential to independent living. Residents are supervised while learning basic meal selection, food preparation skills and domestic utility tasks. Goals are developed to promote increased independence through individual implementation plans.

The programming at Duvall Homes’ Adult Day Training incorporates personalized goal setting so that individuals can be as self-sufficient as possible in a number of areas that develop both recreational and vocational skills. As goals are met, new goals are put into place to build a progressive advancement path.

Areas of Training

Life & Personal Care Skills
Communication & Social Skills
Technology/Computer Skills
Recreation Activities
Community Integration & Volunteering
Cultural Arts Experience

As certain individuals attain competence in interacting socially, they are encouraged and prepared to participate in local events and to develop practical working relationships for and in the community.

As part of the Adult Day Training at Duvall’s Opportunity Enrichment Center, residents and day participants take part in many volunteering opportunities within the community at places like Meals on Wheels, and other locations.

Engagement in community events and services builds self-esteem and confidence in offering valuable contributions while actively building communication skills and experience in quality social interaction.
