Group Day Habilitation
One of our key programs for adults with developmental disabilities is the ‘Group Day Habilitation’ program. This program provides a controlled and supportive setting where participants can learn crucial life, cognitive, and motor skills while also making social relationships.
Participants take part in a wide range of activities, including skill-building courses, creative arts, physical exercise, and community service. Each individual is given particular attention to meet their unique needs and goals. Our curriculum stresses a person-centered approach, which takes into account each individual’s special qualities and interests.
Group Day Habilitation Without Walls
Our ‘Group Day Habilitation Without Walls’ is the perfect solution for individuals who prefer their independence. This service encourages independence and community integration by giving participants a unique opportunity to explore the world outside of the official care setting. Participants engage in a variety of community-based activities, such as volunteering, recreational activities, and attending social events.
Without Walls is one of our core programs for adults with learning disabilities. It includes educational workshops, artistic activities, and exercise/fitness sessions—real-world activities that help people develop valuable life skills, build confidence, and feel more connected to their communities.
Community Habilitation
If you’re looking for programs for adults with intellectual disabilities that prioritize the home environment, then our ‘Community Habilitation’ program at Gateway Counseling Center is what you need. This service is designed to provide such individuals with specialized help in their homes or communities. Skilled specialists provide one-on-one support for daily living activities, skill development, assistance, and community inclusion.
This tailored approach enables participants to advance at their own speed and attain their personal goals. Our ‘Community Habilitation’ program empowers participants to live more independently, whether handling personal hygiene, domestic tasks, or accessing community services. The goal is to help individuals take control of their lives and make the right choices in the community.
Family Support
We understand the challenges families face when caring for individuals with intellectual disabilities, and our ‘Family Support’ program is specifically designed to address these challenges and provide vital resources.
This service offers comprehensive support tailored to the unique needs of both the individual and their family. It includes mental health counseling and support, caregiver skill development and training, specialized treatments, and other services. By concentrating on these areas, our ‘Family Support’ program aims to improve the quality of life for individuals with disabilities and their families, assisting them in navigating and thriving in their everyday lives.
Continuing Day Treatment
Our ‘Continuing Day Treatment’ program targets the mental health requirements of persons with chronic psychiatric diseases. These are individuals who get easily agitated and require therapeutic support and help. We offer a supportive and therapeutic atmosphere where people can learn coping strategies, better manage their symptoms, and improve their general well-being.
Our participants learn to understand and manage their mental health issues, as well as create relationships and live more rewarding lives through a combination of individual and group treatment.
