Rehabilitation Develops Abilities A student sews as a part of her program in home skills. The idea that every person has a right to develop to the greatest extent of his abilities is the guiding philosophy behind extablishment of the Activities Center. The Day Activity Extended Employment Facility is designed for those not employable at the present time. Through a full program of evaluation and training in personal skills, homeskills, community skills, and work skills, the facility attempts to develop each person to the greatest extent of his abilities. For some clients this development means learning to cook, to ride the bus alone, or even to play ping-pong. The Rehabilitation facility provides a sheltered workshop atmosphere in which students receive simulated job train- ing. A full evaluation is also given each student as part of the program. The goal of the facility is to return handi- capped people to the competitive labor force. 82 ,W N .7 . , xx wr ,tus
