Sister Basilia Center Day Activity Center
What is the SBC Day Activity Center?
The Day Activity Center provides care to clients with intellectual disabilities. These clients are placed in different groups, based on their care needs and development goals. Emphasis is placed on the following skills: academic, physical, social, and self-help skills.
We believe that every individual with a disability should take his / her rightful place in society and should be treated with dignity and equality and should be given the opportunity to develop self-respect.
Admission criteria
Required documents:
-
A referral letter from the treating physician/ specialist
-
A letter by a psychiatrist, psychologist, or medical specialist stating that the client has an intellectual disability (must have at least a two-year developmental delay in two or more of these areas: cognitive, motor, communication, social development, independence)

Follow up
After the documents are received, we meet with the client and family. The AVBZ care request form is completed and sent to the AVBZ with the documents and the report of the social worker. Once approved and with sufficient space, the admission date is planned. If there is no space open, the client is placed on the waiting list.
