The Guild's Developmental Disabilities Day Treatment Program serves adults who are blind or visually impaired and have developmental disabilities. During the week, clients participate in innovative, person-centered day programs and activities. The program enables its clients to live more independently and to more fully participate as contributing members of their communities. On Saturdays, the program focuses on recreation and community-inclusion for clients living at home with their families.
