Adult Day Training

Pioneer's program is designed to provide therapeutic, non-competitive paid work to individuals who qualify for SCL services. In addition, classroom activities will be provided to meet the individual's personal objectives in different areas, including:

• basic skills
• self-help skills
• social skills
• safety skills
• recreational and social activities

Recipients are a part of the paid workforce at Pioneer. This helps put into practice skills taught in the classroom, as well as providing meaningful work in the larger Pioneer community.
