Programs and Services

Vanderheyden offers a range of care for individuals with intellectual/development disabilities. The programs promote building skills in the areas of relationship building, community inclusion, self-advocacy and overall greater independence.  There are two opportunities for Day Habilitation – one is with walls, the other is without walls, both provide community based volunteer and recreational experiences that build skills and develop competencies.  Individuals in the Day Hab with walls program are on-site in East Greenbush. Here the day program combines community based skill development activities with an in-house program based leaning activities. 

The Day Hab without walls program is out in the community each day.  The individuals participate in activities in the community such as volunteering at nursing homes, senior centers, churches and thrift stores.
