Tailored Day Services

At Adaptive Learning Center, we believe that every adult should have the opportunity to participate in meaningful activities in his or her community. Through Tailored Day Services, we are able to provide support services that are derived entirely from a “Person Centered Thinking” approach. For most people, this means that ALC is able to assist them will preparing for integrated employment opportunities of their choosing, or in lines of work that are desirable to them.
