Day Services
Indiana MENTOR’s adult day services offer a wide variety of structured activities, social interaction and skill-building opportunities that enrich the lives of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Our center- and community-based day services create an atmosphere that offers structure and excitement for program participants who look forward to seeing friends and staff members each day.

Therapeutic Services and Support
Our staff provides personalized support and individualized training to boost individuals’ confidence and help them learn new skills. In addition, we encourage adults to participate in group activities where they can interact with peers and the community. We incorporate structured learning and fun to help individuals reach personal goals that include:
- Developing vocational skills
- Becoming aware of personal safety
- Strengthening communication skills
- Learning alternative behavior strategies
- Improving independent living skills
- Enhancing mobility
We also offer active treatment and therapeutic services—including motor skills development and social rehabilitation—as well as sensory activities to individuals whose needs are more involved or to those who exhibit challenging behaviors.
Our goal is to ensure that adults can attend the day program of their choosing. We help each person find an adult day program that is right for them and meet goals that change their lives for the better.
