Centre based programming.

We operate day programs for adults experiencing disability in Rosthern. We have access to a variety of recreational spaces to ensure that all participants have an opportunity to develop skills, foster friendships and engage in their world in new ways.

We welcome participants from a wide geographic region around Rosthern, some coming from more than 50 kilometres away to our day program which is a daily hub of activity. Some participants drop in while on their way to other community programs, while others enjoy specialized programs that happen under our roof.

  • Wheelchair accessible garden, fire pit, back yard area

  • Industrial Style kitchen

  • Sensory room

  • Program rooms designed for different kinds of activities

Personalized programming

All of our participant programs begin with an annual planning process for every person that we support. This person-centred approach to planning means we rely on active participation from the individual, their supporters, family members and their chosen advocates to identify the needs, interests and aspirations of all of our participants. The result is a personalized, year-long plan that includes daily tasks, weekly activities and special once-a-year goals.

Annual plans include activities:

  • Creative and artistic programs such as visual arts, photography club, music programs, cooking classes and other creative events.

  • Vocational programs such as recycling, food preparation and cooking, gardening, volunteering and other hands-on forms of meaningful work.

  • Recreational opportunities such as swimming, music therapy and specialized outings such as fishing or attending sports games.  


 

In addition to the adults we support, Valley Action also welcomes students from several local schools. These teenagers/young adults join us throughout the school year for work training, recreational opportunities and a range of specialized daily activities.
