Habilitation
Services provides individual and group training classes to adults with
disabilities. These individuals generally participate in Bona Vista’s
work services program and attend habilitation classes as part of their
regular workday. However, enrollment in Bona Vista’s work services is
not a requirement to participate in habilitation services. We currently
serve 122 individuals in our Bona Vista at the Crossing location in
Howard County, and 39 individuals in our Bona Vista Benton Street
location in Miami County.
The thirty- to sixty-minute classes focus on goal-centered activities
that may include but are not limited to daily living skills, independent
living skills, educational opportunities, computer skills, and social
skills. Habilitation instructors work closely with the clients to assist
them in reaching their personal goals.
