Tailored Day Services
(TDS)
Customized support for your journey toward education, employment, and community inclusion.
Tailored Day Services (TDS)
Tailored Day Services offers a unique opportunity for individuals
who are clients of the regional center to pursue their personal goals,
whether it be continuing their education, finding and maintaining employment, participating
in volunteer work, or developing the skills necessary to lead a
more inclusive and independent life in their community.
This flexible alternative to traditional day programs offers fewer
hours and days, allowing for a more personalized approach aligned with
each person’s individual goals.
A key feature of the program is dedicated one-on-one support, which
ensures that each participant receives guidance and motivation focused on
every step of their journey.
Service hours are determined through the Individual Program Plan (IPP) process
and are customized to reflect each person’s choices, needs, and long-term vision.
