The City Peoria Adaptive Recreation Program has contracted with the Department of Economic Security Division of Developmental Disabilities (DES/DDD) to offer a variety of Day, Treatment and Training services and recently expanded to include Respite and Habilitation Services. The primary goal of all DES/DDD contracted programs is to enhance social and independent living skills through various recreational opportunities through community outings and service projects.  All programs are staffed on a 1:3 staff to participant ratio, so a high level of independence is required.

Saturday R & R
(respite and recreation)
Saturday R & R is offered monthly and provides a variety of community outings and recreational opportunities.    Participants may use respite or habilitation hours.  For those using habilitation hours, goals will be set for the year and will focus on social and independent living skills.  Program meets at the Peoria Community Center.  Space is limited - so register early! For the latest schedule, click here.
