Day Habilitation for Adults with IDD at Ohel

Ohel’s Day Habilitation (DayHab) provides a structured program that can help individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities over the age of 18 build relationships and work towards an independent life. It’s a daily program that involves a combination of recreation and education. Participants have an opportunity to create friendships, participate in meaningful activities, and learn valuable life skills.

Key skills we focus on:

  • Communication and socialization
  • Money and budgeting
  • Hygiene
  • Travel skills
  • Reading, writing, and penmanship

 Fun and Enriching Activities

Life at our Day Hab is never boring. Our days can include:

  • Day trips – everywhere from the library to the zoo to Six Flags
  • Games
  • Cooking and baking
  • Puzzles
  • Dance
  • Arts and crafts
  • Karaoke
  • Community service – ask about our work with Meals on Wheels!

 We personalize the Day Hab experience to the individual.

We currently operate in two locations:

  • Far Rockaway
  • Brooklyn: We have two locations in Brooklyn, one of which is tailored to the needs of older clients.

Transportation is available for most participants, and a sensory room is available at each location.
