Additional Information
The
majority of individuals we serve face developmental disabilities,
autism, Down Syndrome, cerebral palsy, and mental retardation. We
also serve individuals with severe physical and neurological
disabilities resulting from spinal cord injury or other traumatic
injuries.
Our Special Education School places an emphasis on small class size,
a low student/staff ratio and innovative curricula that include the
provision of rehabilitation, occupational, physical and speech
therapies, along with daily living skills instruction.
The objective of our Adult Day Treatment and Training Program is to
help people with developmental and physical disabilities develop
skills and acquire knowledge that will enable them to achieve their
maximum potential for independent living.
We provide on-site vocational services for up to 65 people each day
in our Center-Based Employment Workshop and Job Training and
Placement Programs. Our Center-Based Employment Workshop provides
paying jobs in a controlled environment for adult men and women
whose disabilities require more instruction and supervision than is
provided in community-based settings. Our Job Training and
Community-Based Placement Program offers assessment, training,
placement and support services for persons with disabilities who
have the desire and capacity to obtain competitive employment in the
community workforce.
We have an in-house Transportation Department utilizing 20 vans,
which transport clients to and from their residences, as well as on
field trips and other community based activities.
Unique to Gompers Habilitation Center are two additional points of interest: Our
Dental Clinic provides a comprehensive array of services ranging
from X-rays, screenings and cleanings to restorative work such as
fillings, root canals and crowns. Similarly, Gompers Habilitation Center is one
of the few rehabilitation facilities and private schools in the
country to feature an in-house physical therapy program which
utilizes a state of the art warm water pool. The use of our pool and
therapy services is also now available to the public on a private
pay basis.
