Programs For Adults

Adult Services

Residential Services

Personal choice is respected in the selection of a consumer’s home. These homes are modified as needed to accommodate special needs and meet the most rigid requirements for safety while maintaining an environment that is comfortable, well designed and practical. We believe that helping people with disabilities to lead more fulfilling lives by achieving higher levels of independence and responsibility is an attainable goal. That’s why the children and adults who live in these residences receive the benefits of individualized support plans that build on strengths and are designed to assist them to improve their daily living skills.

Adult Training Program

The ARC of The Treasure Coast believes in making the best use of community resources. All of its efforts are directed at participation in an integrated community. Our Adult Day Program provides adults with disabilities the opportunity to develop new skills and enhance independence through training in communication, money management, community inclusion, and social skills. It also includes training in the use of special adaptive equipment and activities such as, adaptive swimming, bowling, musical arts and dance and therapeutic horseback riding.

Supported Living

We have learned that finding out how a person wishes to live and providing them with the support and training to maintain that lifestyle is the key to success in this program. The ARC offers supports, training, and activities that assist individuals to live in their own home or apartment throughout the Treasure Coast.

Our staff provides participants with the supports necessary for them to maintain themselves, assess “at risk” situations and help them develop safety nets by introducing them to people and resources within their community and neighborhood. Staffing can range from 24-hour coverage to “Drop-In” assistance.

Community Inclusion Services

The Community Inclusion Services Program allows mature teens and adults with developmental disabilities a chance to gain independence within their community. This program offers a diverse choice of activities. Skills taught during these outings may include:

• Group Participation
  
• Money Management
  
• Personal Safety
  
• Team Sports
  
• Social Skills
  

Transportation

The ARC supplies or arranges appropriate transportation for individuals who require or request special transportation accommodations through the use of low floor minivans, commuter passenger vans, and specially adapted buses.
