THE C.E.R.T.S. ADULT ACTION CENTER IS A UNIQUE PROGRAM WITH A LEVEL OF SERVICE THAT DIFFERENTIATES IT FROM ALL OTHER DAY-HABILITATION PROGRAMS. FOR THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OUR PARTICIPANTS, C.E.R.T.S. ADULT ACTION CENTER IS STAFF AND RESOURCE INTENSIVE. THE PROGRAM WAS DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE GRADUATING FROM THE SCHOOL SYSTEM WHO HAVE BEEN OR WOULD BE UNSUCCESSFUL IN OTHER PROGRAMS BECAUSE OF THEIR INTENSE MEDICAL NEEDS. IT IS OUR BELIEF THAT THE C.E.R.T.S. PROGRAM WILL KEEP THESE ADULTS AS INDEPENDENT AS POSSIBLE, ALLOWING THEM TO LIVE AT HOME WITH THEIR PARENTS FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE AND KEEP THEM OUT OF THE HOSPITAL AND NURSING HOMES OR OTHER INSTITUTIONS.
TO ENRICH THE LIVES OF ADULTS WITH MULTIPLE, SEVERE DISABILITIES AND, IN TURN, THEIR FAMILIES THROUGH AN ACTIVE PERSONALIZED DAY PROGRAM.
THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE ADULT ACTION CENTER HAVE SPECIFIC NEEDS THAT INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING:COMMUNICATIONS - MOST OF THE PARTICIPANTS USE MEANS OTHER THAN VERBAL SPEECH OR ARE NON-VERBAL.NON-AMBULATORY - MANY SPEND THE MAJORITY OF THEIR TIME IN A WHEELCHAIR OR OTHER SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT.PERSONAL CARE - ALL NEED HELP WITH BATHROOMING, EATING AND MOST OTHER ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING.MEDICALLY FRAGILE - A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF PARTICIPANTS HAVE A FEEDING TUBE AND ALMOST 100% OF THE YOUNG ADULTS HAVE A SEIZURE DISORDER.
