Day Services
Our weekday adult day services (Adult Developmental Activities Program) offer opportunities to engage in age and skill-level appropriate activities. The men and women who come to the Centers in Hobart, Highland, and Michigan City, Indiana explore new things, discover enjoy, and develop their talents while working side-by-side with peers and team members. In this program, individuals may wish to enhance their daily living skills or participate more in the leisure activities offered. We pride ourselves in addressing the needs of the ‘whole individual.’
In our Sensory & Environmental Awareness Lab (SEALAB), partially supported through a generous grant from the PNC Foundation, we address all of the sensory realms including visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, gustatory, vestibular (knowing where one’s body is in space) and proprioceptive (hard touch) domains. The SEALAB provides relaxed, non-threatening sensory stimulation in which learning is so much fun.
Employment Services
We work hand-in-hand with state agencies, like Vocational Rehabilitation, to help foster an inclusive career future for people with disabilities in the communities where they live.
In this win-win program, area businesses expand their talent pool and create a culture of diversity. Job seekers obtain and keep a rewarding employment position that is in-line with their individual life goals.
After successful employment, Paladin offers follow along services, if necessary. Follow along services provide our consumers with additional support to be successful in their employment.
