Adult Day Program Now Accepting New Friends

Diffabilities's Day Programs empower Friends with skills and opportunities that foster personal development and community involvement. Located in Edmonton and Sherwood Park, our inclusive day programs support your loved one on their journey to thrive each and every day.

Day Program Done Differently

Your loved one deserves more than just a place to spend the day.

That’s why our revolutionary programs go beyond traditional care, focusing on:

Vocational Training: Our Friends learn valuable skills that not only contribute to their own well-being but to the well-being of the broader community through job coaching, workplace etiquette, and hands-on skill development. We support our Friends in finding fulfilling work and achieving greater autonomy.

Skill Development: From mastering daily routines to learning new hobbies, we teach Friends practical life skills that build confidence and independence.

Social Connection: We create a welcoming, inclusive environment where participants build meaningful friendships and enjoy group activities that promote collaboration and communication.

Personal Growth: Every program supports the unique goals, strengths, and interests of each and every one of our friends, ensuring their journey is meaningful and fulfilling.

Community Engagement: We break barriers and foster inclusion. Our programs include community outings and activities that connect participants with the world around them.

Program Fees

Our Adult Day Program is primarily funded through the Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD) program. Most Friends attending our day programs have approved PDD hours that cover staffing, program facilitation, and core supports.

In addition, there may be monthly activity fees associated with the program. These fees help cover the cost of:

Outings and activities in the community
Arts, crafts, and recreational supplies
Transportation during program hours (such as bus fare, van use, or mileage)
Special events, guest workshops, or field trips

Have questions about your PDD funding or fees?

If monthly fees present a financial challenge, please reach out. Email us at diffabilitiesyeg@gmail.com

We’re happy to help you navigate your PDD contract, understand your approved hours, or explore options for covering additional fees.

We’re committed to ensuring everyone can participate fully and will discuss support options with you.
