Watkins VITAL Care Program is an Adult Day Program that seeks to ensure each day is filled with joy, purpose, and dignity. Watkins VITAL Care Program provides life skills training, community integration, behavioral intervention, and other critical skills needed for each Participant to access and participate in their community more independently.

Watkins VITAL Care Program is a community-based Adult Day Program for young adults located in Southern California and vendored through Lanterman Regional Center. Our program is designed for young adults with disabilities. We have a ratio of one staff for every three Participants.

With a Person-Centered Approach, our highly trained and compassionate staff utilized Applied Behavior Analysis to teach and reinforce vocational, leisure, and independent skills as well as encourage positive social interactions. In general, the individual Participants in this program are non-verbal or have limited verbal abilities but may have various levels of communication skills, such as signing, limited vocal/verbal skills, use of picture communication, and/or augmentative communication devices programmed for basic communication needs. Watkins VITAL Care Program coordinates closely with parents, conservators, Regional Center Service Coordinators, and other service providers.
