Day Habilitation Program

The New Visions Day Habilitation program offers a wide-range of services for persons with developmental disabilities functioning within the moderate to severe/profound range of disability. The program is structured into 13 distinct levels including a seniors’ level and a level co-located with our sheltered workshop serving as a point of transition leading to supported employment and other vocational experiences. Each participant receives an integrated, individually-tailored program generated from the person’s stated preferences, interests and identified needs. As a person develops a skill base, he or she moves along the continuum of services offered toward greater independence and self-reliance.

Our Program also helps people with developmental disabilities become as involved and independent in the greater community as possible. Participants are offered opportunities to explore different venues and aspects of community involvement to assist with the development of individualized interests, including visiting actual job sites and volunteering at a variety of Capital Region organizations. Overall goals of the program include regular community inclusion, assimilation and the opportunity to build toward a productive and meaningful community experience.

Clinical services are also available and include physical, occupational and speech-language therapies. In addition, nursing, nutritional and social services are also available. All clinical services are offered on-site at our Slingerlands location.
