This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the Supplemental Day Habilitation (OPTS) TrProgram! Congratulations to our graduates and to everyone who has helped make this program so special.
The OPTS Program supports individuals ages 14 to 21 as they transition from school to adult services. Participants build essential life and social skills through hands-on experiences in the community, as well as at Lifestyles locations such as the Lifestyles Educational Center and the Lifestyles Abilities Center.
Fun in the Sun!
This year’s Lifestyles Field Day was a blast! We enjoyed an action-packed day filled with exciting activities alongside Next Level Flag Football / Special Level Sports, and indulged in delicious treats from Country Donuts. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make the day unforgettable!
"Lifestyles for the Disabled" started in 1994, with the wonderful support of parents, community organizations, local business leaders, and a dedicated group of developmentally disabled adults who participated in our programs. These remarkable individuals and organizations came together to recognize the importance of creating programs that provide participants with meaningful work environments and enjoyable social experiences in Staten Island and beyond.
Empower individuals with developmental disabilities by providing inclusive opportunities for skill development, meaningful work experiences, and community engagement. We aim to promote independence, enhance quality of life, and advocate for the rights and dignity of all participants.
