The main focus of the Day Program is on enhancing the self-esteem of participants as well as their communication and socialization skills. Another goal of these programs is to enhance the vocational skills of participants by instilling basic concepts of work and responsibility. The aim here is to assist participants in moving towards independence and self-sufficiency by fostering those skills and experiences, which may eventually assist participants in obtaining and maintaining paid employment in the community. To this end, EDS has put in place schedules, routines, and practices which reflect a work-like environment. The crucial point to remember is that EDS is a service provider for participants in the Day Program and not an employer that the participants involved in these areas are not involved in paid employment.
