New Directions - Milestones Program

Milestones Program is a life skills and education environment that promotes independence and self-determination. It supports adults with intellectual disabilities and specializes in working with participants that have a dual diagnosis, although the program is not exclusive to people with mental health issues. The goal of the program is to provide a safe, interactive and positive learning environment that can adapt to different peoples learning needs.

Staff to participant ratio is typically 1:5 however staff often accompany participants to a job site to supervise one or more participants. An individual assessment and program plan is designed using a collaborative approach with the participant, families, care-providers and day service staff. All staff have received training in sensory processing disorders, autism, schizophrenia, behavioural and sensory treatment protocols.

Our program location is completely wheelchair accessible. Transportation arranged through Community Services.
