ADDITIONAL BENEFITS OF OUR DTA PROGRAM
To even better help your loved ones reach their goals, we understand that our program must be made accessible to people of all needs. We provide accessibility by offering transportation, based on location and availability, to and from our DTA program center. In addition to this benefit, all of our staff members are highly skilled and trained professionals. Their credentials include additional training in CPR, First Aid, Article 9, Prevention Support, and Fingerprint Clearance to ensure absolute safety and care.
WHY ARE ADULT SPECIAL NEEDS PROGRAMS VITAL?
The ACS, or American Community Survey, estimated that at least 13% of people in the U.S. are living with disabilities. The most common disabilities involve mobility and motor function, and many of the adults in this group are living with developmental disabilities as well. Up to 64% of these individuals are unemployed or underemployed. Lexington Services believes in and supports the importance of adult special needs programs. The statistics recorded by the ACS show a need for adult special needs programs to support their quality of life and boost their skills so people living with disabilities can pursue the same opportunities as their peers. At Lexington services, we believe that this community needs more safe and welcoming places to grow, and we are happy to be part of this support system. The main goal of programs like our Adult Day Treatment Program is to pave the way for individuals to channel, harness, and maintain their own success. By fostering a safe and supportive community through our adult special needs programs at the DTA, achieving this success is at your fingertips. Adults living with developmental disabilities in our community need and deserve support from their neighbors to join the workforce, go to college, pursue their hobbies and dreams, and ultimately enjoy a better quality of life.
