Child Day Habilitation

Child Day Habilitation at Unity Developmental Disabilities Care Center (UDDCC) provides structured, skill-building support for children with developmental disabilities or traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment. Our program focuses on helping each child develop functional life skills, social abilities, independence, and emotional regulation through supervised, person-centered activities.

Day Habilitation is not childcare — it is a therapeutic, developmental program designed to help children learn, grow, and gain meaningful skills for everyday life.

Child Day Habilitation includes:

• Daily living skills training
  (hygiene routines, dressing, mealtime skills, organization)
   
• Social and communication skill development
  (peer interaction, emotional expression, turn-taking)
   
• Behavioral and sensory support
  provided through trauma-informed practices
   
• Community integration activities
  (parks, libraries, outings, learning in real environments)
   
• Fine and gross motor activities
  (crafts, play, movement activities)
   
• Cognitive skill-building
  (problem-solving, following directions, attention)
   
• Recreational and therapeutic play
   
• Transportation to and from the program (if needed)
   

Our trained staff provide:

• Individualized support aligned with each child’s ISP
   
• Positive behavior strategies
   
• Safety supervision at all times
   
• Collaboration with families, schools, therapists, and case managers
   
• Daily documentation and communication with caregivers
   
• Support for children in foster care or specialized placements
   

UDDCC uses a structured, nurturing, and person-centered model that helps children:

• Build independence
   
• Increase communication
   
• Strengthen motor and sensory regulation
   
• Improve social interaction
   
• Explore interests and talents
   
• Prepare for school, home routines, and community participation
   

Child Day Habilitation helps children reach their fullest potential by creating a supportive, developmental environment where learning happens naturally through play, engagement, and meaningful experiences.
