The "Individual Support Services" component of CHANGING IMAGES addresses adult goals of "playing" (recreating) and "learning" in the community for those individuals for whom paid employment is not a desired or attainable goal. An individual may transition to this program directly from a public education-funded school program or enter the program at any time during his or her adult life, including the senior years. Individual Support Services provide participants with opportunities to choose from a Monday to Friday schedule of activities that build self-esteem, independence and community participation skills. Program placements are available in Stratford and Norwalk.
Individuals enrolled in Work Services and Individual Support Services programs are funded by the Department of Development Services. For more information, please call (203) 380-9077.
