Solano Diversified Services’ (SDS) day training programs are located in the cities of Vallejo and Fairfield. SDS provides the following program services: Behavior Management Day Training Program (1:3), Community Based Services (CBS) (1:3), Adult Development Center (ADC) (1:4), and 1:1/1:2 Services along with an Elderly Services Component. The programs provide training in the following skill areas: Behavior, Communication/Social, Community Integration, Employment, and Recreation/Leisure. Functional skill development stressing community-based instruction is our primary agency objective. For example, Solano Diversified Services has implemented mobile work crews which complete paid landscaping and janitorial jobs at various community work sites. Program staff are trained in behavioral methodology and techniques. Staff develop and implement individual Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs) according to the needs of each person receiving services as appropriate. Behavior programs emphasize the use of positive procedures and participant success. A referral to the program is submitted by the Regional Center. An intake interview by the person follows. Each person is assessed within thirty (30) days of placement in the program. An Individual Instructional Plan (IIP) is developed and a meeting with the participant, parent and/or the residential service provider, Regional Center Counselor, and program staff follows. The staff/participant ratio ranges from 1:1 to 1:4. More specialized training involves higher ratios. Our programs operate daily, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8 a. m. to 4 p.m. Participants attend for 6 hours of programming daily. Our programs are easily accessible. The public bus stop, located in close proximity to our program sites facilitate community integration training. |
