At Enhanced Day Program we are an organization offering an exciting opportunity built on a program that is structured and continuos, no matter what the behaviours of the individual are. Our Vision
All individuals regardless of the complexities of their needs, including those with complex behaviours, will not be turned away from Enhanced Day Program. As inclusive as our society in Canada is today,
we have made the choice to overlook a special group of people. These individuals with Autism often live in residential programs but do not have any programs to go to during the day due to their behaviours, often being left inside of there home or there community while the other individuals in the residence go to specific day programs. Our Purpose
To provide an accepting, high tolerant, inclusive daily program for Autistic people with behavioral management issues, that is consistently delivered in a safe environment by experienced staff with problem solving and adaptability skills that respond appropriately in an attentive, caring, decisive and professional manner. Our Focus
Social skills/ peer relationships
Recreational activities
Daily life skills built through consistent routine
Safety for individuals and staff
Our Values
Professionalism:
We commit to a level of excellence through standards of accountability and integrity. Communication:
We are committed to the practice of effective and interactive exchanges. Respect:
We acknowledge, listen and consider others' thoughts, feelings and abilities in a non-judgmental, consistent manner. Continuous Growth:
We are both teachers and learners as we support opportunities for innovation and growth for the individuals and also the workers. So how are we different from other programs? Experienced
Our staff are experienced and specialized in working with individuals that are high energy and are prone to aggressive or intense behaviours. Committed
After meeting with the individuals and their support teams, we will design a plan that works with the individuals abilities and their needs. Individualized
A specific individualized plan for each client, based on their personal gifting’s, needs and their teams’ understanding of the individual will be created. Flexible
We also realize that for some individuals having a “set-in-stone” schedule is not an option. There maybe times where they want to stop working on cognitive skills, or stop watching a movie and will want to go to the fitness section of the facility. Accepting
We will not control or force any individual to do anything that they do not want to do. In all situations we focus on the individuals using their tools to communicate what they want to do, instead of acting out or running to a specific section of the facility. Offering an Opportunity to Grow
Our goal every day is to allow the individual the opportunity to grow in their social skills, communication skills, recreation skills and daily life skills. And through all of these skill building opportunities, making sure that the individuals and there staff feels safe in everything they do.
