We welcome adults with cognitive, emotional and physical disabilities, who are 18 years of age or older. Our agency provides a nurturing, safe environment where consumers develop basic and advanced work skills and enhance their independent functioning, thereby building a far greater level of satisfaction and self-esteem. The Center is certified by the State of Florida as a provider of Medicaid-Waiver Services.
Consumers have a choice of three on-site programs: Developmental Training, Manufacturing Services, and our Plant Nursery. Developmental Training is geared to meet the needs of adults who are severely challenged by offering them intensive training and support. Consumers in Manufacturing Services receive advanced training in performing a wide variety of sophisticated industrial related work, such as assembling cell phones, electronic devices and other products. Our Plant Nursery provides a tranquil, therapeutic environment in which consumers, under the direction of an experienced and talented staff of horticulturists, learn all aspects of growing and caring for bedding plants. As part of their training, they produce hundreds of thousands of beautiful annuals and perennials each year for wholesale consumption. Regardless of the program, each consumer is compensated for the work he or she performs.
Additionally, we offer a variety of support services that include, as examples:
- Individual, Group and Family Counseling
- Functional Academics
- Computer Training
- Leisure-Time and Recreational Activities
Consumers may also elect to participate in Supported Employment, which is coordinated by our caring staff at the Habilitation Center.
