Day Habilitation provides active treatment and developmental skills training designed to improve the functional abilities of individuals with significant disabilities.

The Willow Tree is our day habilitation program serving up to 35 individuals in the Metro West area. At our beautiful accessible center we specialize in supporting individuals with significant medical, physical and learning needs. The core of our program is a rich schedule of community-focused activities, which enhance rehabilitative outcomes.

Therapeutic interventions such as physical therapy, communication development, and occupational therapy are provided through external community experiences as often as possible. We coordinate services closely with residential and other providers to maximize the benefit of our rehabilitative activities.

The Mobile Day Habilitation Program provides one-to-one therapeutic, socialization and recreational supports to individuals with developmental disabilities living in nursing homes throughout Massachusetts. Services are offered during the day, evenings and weekends, increasing peoples’ access to a range of community social, cultural, sporting and recreational activities. We enable people living in nursing homes to practice communication, self-help, sensory-motor, and independent living skills in order to facilitate a return to their own homes.
