Adult Day Training
Individualized training, support and community experiences designed to help program participants build life skills, independence and meaningful connections.
Building Skills for Everyday Life
The Key Training Center offers a comprehensive scope of services to help individuals find meaningful work or activities. The Adult Day Training program is designed to help program participants function more normally in everyday life.
Using hands-on learning techniques, Key Center staff help clients enhance life skills inside structured classrooms, workshops, and/or with a business in the community. Supervision and personal care are provided to participants.
Once admitted to the Key Training Center, an individual support plan is developed for each client with input from the client, parents, staff members and an independent support coordinator.
A Plan Built Around Each Client
A plan of care is outlined, with personal client goals and objectives established. Daily progress and programs are monitored and documented.
The support plan is reviewed and modified annually, or more often if necessary, to address client needs.
Learning, Growing & Connecting
Learning Beyond the Classroom
Program participants are given opportunities to go out into their community. Key Training Center staff and program participants plan trips to educate, expose and experience resources in the community.
Outings promote generalization and maintenance of skill acquisition, access to recreation and leisure activities, and opportunities to assume social roles in the community. Participants are encouraged to live and function in and as part of their communities.

Building Connections Between People With and Without Disabilities
Although most people are fortunate enough to be part of a community, others have faced difficulties in establishing that same sense of community within their lives. Adults with developmental disabilities are one group faced with the desire to take charge of their own lives and become full members of communities in which they choose to participate.
Support personnel and families can help create opportunities for people with disabilities to achieve membership in their communities and build lifestyles that reflect who they are.
When a community is accepting of all people, the community as a whole can grow stronger and become more inclusive for individuals with and without disabilities.
Helping Clients Get Where They Need to Go
The Key Training Center provides transportation for program participants primarily residing in Citrus County and parts of Marion and Hernando counties. Transportation is provided twelve months per year on the 247 days on which the Center is open for operation.
Transportation is provided to Adult Day Training program participants. Funding is provided by the Agency for Persons with Disabilities waiver participants and for Key Training Center scholarships. Arrangements are made at the time of admission, with pickup and drop-off points assigned based on established routes.
Social Services, under the direction of the Program & Services Director, coordinates participant transportation scheduling and area routes. Families are notified in writing of transportation schedules upon admission and of any changes thereafter.
Individual arrangements are made for clients with special transportation needs, such as wheelchair lift service, in cooperation with Citrus County Public Transportation. The Key Training Center endeavors to provide the least riding time and most convenient routes possible. Pickup is usually door-to-door, although congregate pickup points may be established based on location.
Key Training Center residential facilities also provide transportation for residents to and from the community for doctor appointments, shopping, recreation and other activities using vans or small modified transit buses.
