Day Options are programs that let people living with disabilities join in on fun and meaningful activities during the day. At Enabling Independence, our Day Options are all about helping people become more independent, make friends, learn new skills, and enjoy social activities.
Our program mixes activities that happen both in our center and out in the community, running every weekday. Plus, we also offer special overnight and holiday programs throughout the year, each with a unique theme or focus. The best part is, you don't have to come every day—you can pick and choose which activities interest you the most.
Even though our schedule changes weekly, we keep some activities consistent so you always know what to expect.
We publish our program calendars at least a month in advance, so you have plenty of time to see what's coming up and choose what you want to do.
