Our Approach

Serving adults from their early twenties into their eighties, Allied’s Day Program team focuses on helping participants achieve a meaningful day.

Our dedicated staff brings high positive energy to every activity, ensuring meaningful participation and engagement. Through verbal encouragement, modeling, and appropriate hands-on assistance, we help each participant achieve success at their own pace. Activities are thoughtfully adapted to match individual abilities and preferences, creating opportunities for growth and accomplishment.

Activities

Our program is structured around five specialized areas: Enrichment, Community Connections, Journeys, Social Experiences, and Fit Tech. This framework allows us to address the diverse interests and developmental goals of our participants while maintaining a cohesive, supportive environment.

Participants engage in a rich variety of activities, including cooking classes, exercise programs, walking groups, music and movement activities, volunteering opportunities, community experiences, garden club, pet therapy, and other specialized interventions.

Admission & Referrals

Applicants must be at least 18 years of age. Records and medical background are requested as part of the referral process. After admission, each individual’s skills are assessed in order to develop an individualized plan of services. Goals are set in major areas of vocational development, and community integration.

Referrals are subject to approval by Allied Community Services, Inc. and the State of Connecticut, Department of Developmental Disabilities.

Sharon & David Kozaczka

Our son has attended Allied’s Day Program for several years, including through the challenges of the post-COVID period. Allied excels at providing a stable, safe environment, and their communication is consistently prompt and professional. They have always been a strong advocate for our son — thoughtful, compassionate, and responsive to his changing needs. We take great comfort in knowing Allied will continue to be an important part of his life in the years ahead.

Debbie has been part of the Allied community since 1964. Now 68, she attends Allied’s Day Program, where she thrives socially — enjoying dances, friendships, and Special Olympics competitions in swimming and track and field, where she’s earned many medals. Debbie also lives in an Allied residence, where she receives 24-hour care from a dedicated team. She eagerly looks forward to seeing her peers and favorite staff on a daily basis. As a family, we are extremely thankful for the community Allied has given our big sister, Debbie.
