Adult Day Program: Sponsorship

Recent reports indicate there are more than 6 million students diagnosed with a disability, like Down syndrome (DS). The transition for a student with disabilities from high school to college, and later to the workforce can be difficult at best, with limited life skill, higher education, and work preparation programs.

Day Habilitation programs are one such program designed to provide individuals with disabilities opportunities for inclusive activities in their communities, as well as valuable training and therapy for further enhancing communication, and overall self-care and life skills.

Rock the 21 was pleased to sponsor a young adult with DS to attend Hudson Milestone’s Day Habilitation program, which provides meaningful and productive activities. The Day Habilitation Centers are places of individual expression and learning, which will provide Rock the 21’s sponsor recipient with an opportunity to build relationships and further foster their skillsets.
