At Family Partners, we are dedicated to empowering individuals with developmental disabilities to live fulfilling, independent lives through meaningful services designed around personal goals, community engagement, and workplace readiness. From our day programs for adults with disabilities to robust employment opportunities, we walk alongside participants and families through every step of growth and transition

What Makes Our Day Programs Special?

Our special needs day program offers a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where adults with developmental disabilities can build life skills, deepen social connections, and grow with confidence. Participants enjoy a variety of purposeful activities that support independence and personal achievement.

Each person receives a tailored plan geared toward individual goals, with activities focused on essential skills such as safety awareness, cooking, socialization, fitness, and more. In addition to daily on-site programs, community outings and engaging events further strengthen independence and confidence. 

Key benefits of our day programs for adults with disabilities include:

    • Personalized support and life skills training that empowers participants to take meaningful steps toward independence.  

    • Social engagement and community integration through group activities and outings that build confidence and relationships.  

    • Respite and peace of mind for caregivers, knowing loved ones are in a safe, fun, and supportive environment.

Supporting the Transition From School to Work

Graduating high school is a major milestone — and at Family Partners, we help make the transition into adulthood as smooth and exciting as possible. Your loved one may move from our special needs day program into employment training and opportunities that align with their strengths and goals. 

Group Supported Employment (GSE): Real Work, Real Growth

Our Group Supported Employment (GSE) services are designed to help adults with developmental disabilities gain practical job skills and confidence in real work settings. Beginning with employment readiness training, participants learn valuable skills that lay the foundation for long-term success.

Employment opportunities include:

    • On-site supported jobs, such as working within Family Partners’ own enclaves.

    •  Community employment, including partnerships with local employers like the Arizona Flower Market and other businesses where participants work alongside others in integrated settings.

    • Ongoing job coaching and support to ensure long-term success, job satisfaction, and growth.  

Participants are paid competitive wages and supported by trained staff who provide guidance every step of the way. This real-world work experience not only builds independence but also fosters confidence, pride, and a genuine sense of accomplishment. 

A Holistic Approach to Independence

From structured daily activities in our day programs to meaningful employment services, Family Partners embraces a holistic approach that values each person’s unique path to independence.

Our mission is to help adults with developmental disabilities reach their full potential — socially, personally, and professionally. If you’re looking for a supportive day program for adults with disabilities or a meaningful special needs day program that prepares participants for life beyond the classroom, Family Partners offers a welcoming, growth-focused community where every person can shine.
