JOB CLUB Day Program
According to a new study, working age adults with intellectual disability (ID) are employed at less than half the rate of those without a disability! Employment is an important goal for improving the quality of life of adults with ID and developmental disabilities (DD), as it builds identity, self esteem, and independence. Gallant Therapy Services' Job Club program is specifically designed for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and adults with Autism who want to pursue employment or who have had difficulty maintaining employment in the past.
