Individuals are not looking for special programs or services, but only to be fully included in the life of their community. Individuals also attend professional workshops and conferences as presenters and attendees. Participants in Day Hab are working hard to move from being dependent and excluded to becoming independent, included, and productive members of society. Day Hab activities open up fascinating new experiences while presenting challenges and responsibilities to help increase self-esteem, mobility and socialization in the community.
