Day Programs for Adults with an Intellectual Disability

What is CBACO?

CBACO is a non-Government organisation funded by the Department of Human Services to provide day programs.

What are the benefits?

Different people get different things out of a day program. Some find new friends while doing activities they enjoy. For many, a number of options open up in terms of what they can do and learn. Personal development and self-esteem often grow when people choose and participate in programs that are varied, stimulating and enjoyable.

What do we offer?

Programs at CBACO are based on the individual needs, strengths and choices of clients, as assessed through the Person Centred Plan process. We invite family members and other key persons to meet with our staff and the client to ensure a holistic approach to service delivery.
