Day Programs
The D.A. Centre is a day program dedicated to supporting individuals with diverse needs. Our approach is rooted in person-centred planning, with each plan developed alongside the individual to reflect their unique goals, interests, and preferences.
We offer a balance of community-based and in-house activities that encourage social connection, personal growth, and independence. Building and maintaining meaningful relationships is a key part of our program, and all activities are designed to support each individual’s personal development.
The D.A. Centre participates in a wide range of community activities tailored to individual interests. These include swimming, bowling, visits to local farmers markets, curling, and dancing at the Halina Centre. We also enjoy indoor walking at Kal Tire Place, as well as outings to local parks and boardwalks. Adaptive cycling is available during suitable weather, and in the winter months, individuals can take part in snowshoeing, skiing, and Winter Carnival events.
Through our partnership with the CRIS (Community Recreational Initiatives Society) program, individuals have additional opportunities to participate in activities such as kayaking, hiking, biking, and snowshoeing throughout the year.
We also provide communication support in collaboration with CAYA (Communication Assistance for Youth and Adults). Our staff are trained to support a range of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) methods, from basic picture exchange systems to iPad-based communication tools. We work closely with each individual to support and strengthen communication in the way that works best for them.Contact us today to learn more.
