The Civitan’s DTA facility is located adjacent to our corporate offices at 3519 E Shea Boulevard in Phoenix Arizona. Transportation is available to and from the program each day.
Civitan’s Adult Day Treatment and Training Program is a step toward independence for individuals who are developmentally and physically disabled. Daily living skills, social skills, interaction, money management, exercise, computer skills, arts & crafts and self-care are all important areas for people who are working their way toward personal independence. These skills are taught both in the facility and in the community. Adult training provides persons with disabilities an opportunity to develop and enhance skills in accordance with their individual support plan. This support plan enables individuals to voice their choices in what they want to accomplish or learn to do. Each person is encouraged to apply themselves to real life situations within the community.
Our DTA program will give our participants the opportunity to be independent, to learn something new every day, and to become contributing members of our community. Our site is located at our corporation offices at 3509 E Shea Blvd. Ste 133, Phoenix, Arizona 85028. The newly built center has been designed to enrich and accommodate multiple levels of training and participation. Our programs will be based on the principle of “community helping community.”
The uniqueness of our programs will be the “volunteer exploration” program in conjunction with small businesses within our community. This program will help uncover hidden talents and skills and help further develop existing skills which increase self- confidence for the individuals. We hope to also develop more employment opportunities for the participants, and will be based on individual’s programs based on their ISP goals. The programs will place the individuals at daycare centers, hospitals, animal shelters, schools, nursing homes, libraries, county parks, churches, and other small businesses within our community. These placements come with responsibilities such as: collating mailings, reading stories to children, feeding, walking and grooming animals, helping with recreational activities, serving food; beautifying nature; visiting with the elderly, collating church bulletins, beautifying a park, sorting clothing donated to a thrift store, straightening magazines at libraries, and packing groceries at food banks.
Civitan’s DTA program will operate Monday through Friday from 8:00 am until 3:00 pm. Transportation is also available. Please call for a tour or information on placement and availability.
We are presently accepting new consumers for this program, please call for availability and more information 602-953-2944.
