Day Options Programmes
Day Options programmes offer a wide variety of recreational, leisure and developmental activities for people with moderate to high support needs who are not ready or are unable to enter the workforce.
Day Options is also a transitional programme for people who need additional training & development before moving into supported employment. The transition to supported employment is tailored to individual needs.
