Our day habilitation staff include Direct Support Professionals. Our staff identify the adaptive skills each individual needs and work with individuals to achieve those goals. They may work with individuals to improve:
- personal care: hygiene, meals, chores and similar tasks
- socialization: such as conversation skills and identifying non-verbal cues
- safety & community skills: crossing the street or making purchases at local shops
- self-direction: problem solving, goal setting and self-management
- behavior: encouraging tolerance and reducing ritualistic behaviors that may interfere with social development
DAY PROGRAM
Fresh Start of San Angelo’s day habilitation program reflects a program that stresses a daily scheduled routine with goals derived from their Person Center Plan. Daily activities and services reflect choices made by each individual.
We begin our day with an array of activities and experiences. Our center includes activity areas designed to improve cognitive, social, and emotional functioning.
Day Hab Activities
- Exercise

We are home to approximately 75 adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our program runs Monday – Friday 8:30am-2:00pm. We operate year-round with a few days off for holidays and staff trainings. We follow SAISD’s holiday and bad weather closures.
