Community Day Service
For adults 21 and older with developmental disabilities, the Community Day Services at BeDell ARC serves individuals that function in the moderate, severe, or profound range of intellectual disabilities. Disabilities may include cerebral palsy, epilepsy, autism, and sensory impairment. Through our program, we train individuals to develop functional skills for daily living through repetitive learning activities.
Our Training Includes:
