TCH’s Day Program provides daily social, recreational and educational opportunities to adults with developmental and physical disabilities.  The individuals we support, broaden their social horizons and become more independent citizens. In addition to making parks, shopping centers, zoos and other places and attractions more accessible and approachable for adults with disabilities, TCH’s Day Program assists adults with disabilities in building life skills.  Our day program also provides an environment which allows the individuals we support help identify interests and activities that appeal to them and enhance their quality of life.

Creating artistic works for others to purchase and display in their homes and gardens helps give adults with disabilities a sense of purpose, pride and personal responsibility.  TCH’s Unique Boutique provides the individuals we support an opportunity to not only develop their artistic skills, but give back to the greater good through doing so. A long time staple of TCH’s Day Program, the Unique Boutique affords artists an opportunity to create crafts alongside support staff.  Which they later sell in the boutique, at craft fairs and in other retail settings, with all revenue raised to continue the artist’s work in the Unique Boutique.

Many of Arizona’s adults with disabilities benefit tremendously from the structure and 24/7 support group residences provide. TCH’s Home Services provide safe, secure and fulfilling living environments for adults with developmentally and physical disabilities in Maricopa and Pima counties. While day-to-day schedules and efforts will vary based on a resident’s individual needs, a typical day for a resident may look something like this:

Robbie lives in a TCH group home and attends the TCH day program Monday through Friday. He wakes up around 6:30am, with staff members assisting him and his four roommates with eating breakfast and getting ready for their day. Everyone then gets in the van and a staff member transports them to the Day Program, where their morning starts out with a classroom lesson on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. After that, Robbie spends some time in TCH’s Unique Boutique area, where he works on painting one of our famous “Flower Pot Friends” to give to his mom for Valentine’s Day. After lunch, Robbie enjoys music therapy and then works on his habilitation goal, which involves learning to make a microwaveable meal without assistance. Then, staff members transport he and his roommates back home, where they relax for a while before helping with dinner prep and otherwise going about their evening routine.
