DES/DDD FUNDED PROGRAMS

The City of Peoria Adaptive Recreation Program contracts with the Department of Economic Security, Division of Developmental Disabilities, to offer a variety of Day Treatment and Training Services.

The primary goal of all DES/DDD contracted programs is to enhance social and independent living skills through various recreational opportunities and through community outings and service projects. All programs are staffed on a 1:4 staff-to-participant ratio, so a moderate-to-high level of independence is required.

Summer recreation programs are available for ages 6-22. These programs are first come, first served so call (623) 773-7436 and ask for Jodi, Angelica, or Jake to be put on the mailing list. Make sure you ask your support coordinator for DTS paperwork for the summer!
