The KyADAPT program is designed to provide
residents with the following:
- A safe environment. Residents will
benefit from the independence of living away from family members and
the security of living in a 24-hour supervised environment.
- Well-trained staff to assist residents in
life's daily routine. Residents will learn independent living
skills such as personal care, household safety, cooking, medication
administration and money management.
- Counseling to encourage self-improvement.
Residents will be given personal training and counseling that
matches individual abilities and needs.
- Appropriate rights and responsibilities to
promote self-esteem and independence. Each resident will be
assisted and encouraged to maximize individual potential.
- Job training and placement assistance.
Staff members will assist residents in working through government
and private agencies to attain work in the community and/or KyADAPT
residence.
- Direct communication with staff, peers,
employers, family members and the world at large. This
communication is facilitated by American Sign Language (ASL),
computers, assistive technology, use of public transportation and a
variety of other techniques.
