Adult Development (DDS):  Adult Development is an adult program for the developmentally disabled who typically has an average productivity level below 50%.  The program utilizes Individualized Program Plans which address long range goals dealing with pre-vocational skills training and those involved in habilitation training which deals with social development, communication, sensory motor, cognitive, and recreation designed to assist the individual to become more self-sufficient and independent.  Specialized programming provides services for developmentally disabled adults to improve their self-sufficiency through habilitation training that improves daily living skills, self-help skills, self-care, survival skills and life adjustment. It can be a maximum of five hours daily.  Also, some therapy services (speech, occupational, and physical) are provided to qualified adults in this program.

Pre-Vocational Adult Development (DDS):  This adult development program is the same as the regular program, except the programming occurs in the Work Activity Center involving only pre-vocational goals.  This active programming can only occur when the individual’s average productivity is below the 50% level.

DDTCS Evaluation (DDS):  This activity is completed at the initial entry of the individual into the DDTCS programs and annually thereafter.  It is necessary to perform in order to substantiate the physicians’ prescription for needed services.

Work Activity Center (DDS):  Work Activity Center is a program that creates a special learning and work orientation experience for developmental disabled adults. The program utilizes Individualized Program Plans which address long range goals dealing with vocational skills training and related activities to the work setting.  The work tasks are a significant part of its delivery system.

Physical Therapy and Speech Therapy (Medicaid for Adults):  Therapies are contracted with outside professional therapists who provide the service and then are billed thru Medicaid.  Services are provided on site.
