HABILITATIONAbstract
The Program Designer in a Habilitation program is responsible for the planning, development, and carrying out of programs designed to affect improvement and positive changes in the actions, attitudes, abilities, and behavior of the severely and multipally handicapped brain injured child and
young adult. Our goal and hope is that after their participation in our programs,
these clients will eventually be accepted into other and more advanced
educational and vocational training facilities in public schools and sheltered
work shops. With this additional training some may attain productive capacities
and abilities for selective competitive employment. We have already had
some success in this area and hope for more as our program continues. We
must also bear in mind, that the Habilitation Program accepts many clients
who have been rejected from schools and other formal programs and who
have had little, if any participation in programs designed to meet their needs.
We make persevering attempts to improve their physical, social, and emotional
functioning, accepting these clients as they are and working to bring
about improvement in all areas.
