Adult Life Enrichment (ALE)

The Arc’s Adult Life Enrichment program provides day habilitation activities for adults (ages 18 and up) with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in an environment conducive to growth and socialization. Participants are offered a variety of structured activities based on individual interests, skills, and abilities. 

Each day, our team delivers six hours of thoughtfully designed programming intended to address the mental, emotional, physical, and social needs of the adults The Arc serves. Topics include functional life skills (cleaning the house, doing the dishes, etc.), enrichment activities (art, dance, and music) and health and wellness (fitness classes, nutrition workshops, and more).  

The ALE program is the participants’ primary connection to community integration through opportunities to develop and practice life and social skills. Their experiences lay the groundwork for participants to have more fulfilling relationships, find meaningful work (both paid and volunteer), and reach their maximum level of independence.
