Adult Day Programs
Adults who participate in AbilityFirst day programs are offered a variety of activities that both suit their personal interests and cultivate their social, physical, cognitive and creative abilities. Our highly-trained, culturally-sensitive staff members work to discover each person’s strengths, and then assist them in realizing their goals.

Specific activities vary from center to center, but all fall into these four categories:

Life Skills: activities are designed to enhance one’s ability to participate in common, everyday activities such as cooking, doing laundry, etiquette/manners, group interaction and making friends, sharing, and developing hobbies, as well as range of community-based activities such as shopping, banking, eating in restaurants, using public transportation and safety basics.
Education: focused activities include developing computer skills and creative writing, and time in our learning labs.
Adaptive Recreation: encompasses all sorts of interests. Our popular Friday Night Socials offer a fun, party atmosphere that our adult participants look forward to. During the day, participants can enjoy dancing, gardening, swimming, arts and crafts, karaoke/singing, drama, and even preparing to participate in the 5K event of the Los Angeles Marathon!

We always welcome your visits, so feel free to stop by the AbilityFirst community center near you. Or, call ahead and schedule an appointment to meet with the center director.
