Day Training Coach

Developmentally disabled adults can learn to accomplish tasks which enable them to enjoy life more fully. Day Training Coaches work together with the classroom instructors to provide one-on-one attention to an individual, reinforcing learning. Coaches bring their talents and skills to the classroom providing the opportunity to learn crafts, cooking, and computer skills among others.

Successful individuals have patience, kindness, love and the ability to be nonjudgmental. The ability to work closely with team members to accomplish goals and flexibility are essential. Special skills such as sewing, cooking, crafts, computer, leading basic exercises, and/or the ability to tutor in math or reading are helpful but not required.
