Day Programs
CVTC’s Commitment to Quality and Best Practice
CVTC’s ultimate goal is to assist individuals with
developmental disabilities in replacing challenging
behaviors with more appropriate, socially acceptable
behaviors. It is our philosophy to utilize non-aversive
behavior management skills and techniques consistent with
the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis coupled with
training and curriculum that enhances a person’s coping and
life skills.
Our immediate objective is to provide individuals with a
safe learning environment that ensures structure and
consistency while tailoring training to the individual’s
needs.
We are dedicated to providing quality services. Quality
services are those that result in individuals discovering
their potential, expanding their skills, and promoting their
individuality with the end result being individuals leading
successful and fulfilling lives in within their communities.
CVTC does this while adhering to best practices in case
management, staff training, systemic and consistent
communication, and being conscious of overall safety of the
people we serve.
Our Day Programs are located throughout the Central Valley
of California which includes locations in Stockton, Modesto,
Merced, two in Fresno, and Visalia. Within the design of
each program is a “walls-free,” community-based component by
which services and training are provided solely in the
community. This offers the opportunity for individuals in
both the cities where our physical programs are located as
well as outlying rural areas to receive needed services.
Central Valley Training Center incorporates various
curriculum and materials such as Social Effectiveness
Training (SET), a Team Teaching approach, and Structured
Teaching. Our training curricula are designed to promote
individuals’ abilities to demonstrate appropriate
situational, social, and community behaviors that will lead
to successful integration into their communities, work
places, and/or settings of choice. Training and instruction
are provided in the least restrictive environment possible
to promote real-life experiences and opportunities to
practice newly acquired skills. Individuals learn how to
utilize communication skills, problem-solving skills, and
coping techniques in social and vocational settings. The
primary service components of our day program services
include:
- Self-Advocacy
- Community Integration
- Employment Training
CVTC strongly promotes the rights of individuals with
disabilities and their ability to advocate for themselves. Thus,
services are always driven by the individual being served and/or
her/his authorized representative (s).
