Adult Day Services: Koinonia’s Adult Day Program is a good fit for individuals who are unsure if they wish to seek employment, but still want to enjoy a wide variety of engaging activities in and out of the center.
Vocational Habilitation Services: Koinonia’s Vocational Habilitation (Voc Hab) Program is great for individuals who want to find their path to employment, while building the skills necessary to achieve their goals. This includes community volunteering, social skills training, interview skills, and the fundamentals necessary for finding and keeping a job.

A space to connect ourselves with meaningful experiences and opportunities in the community. Virtual delivery is a major resource for the STEP model programming and individualized interests in group sessions (1:1 – 1:5). The STEP model focuses on direct service delivery to ensure the person has all needed equipment and supplies to participate in services outside of the day service center, but allows for limited amounts of service delivery on behalf of a person.
Activities may include:
Current Events
Exercise/Dancing
Skill Development
Virtual Tours
Cooking/Nutrition
Hang outs with friends
Employment Skills
Career Exploration
Arts/Music
A Better LIFE
At Koinonia, Lifelong Inclusion for Everyone (LIFE) is a model that clearly identifies adequate supports needed for people with IDD to move from exclusion to community inclusion while addressing each person’s choices, barriers, and needed supports.
The LIFE model includes creating a Canvas that measures an individual’s “LIFE Level,” a ranking based on the individual’s ability and desire to be active in the community. The Canvas identifies any barriers to inclusion and supports needed. Using the LIFE model along with the Choices app, people may choose to explore a career path or engage in volunteer work, participate in cultural activities, explore virtual events, join a sports team, or other activities.
