AZTEC Programs
	Day Services
	Day Services for adults including older adults provide training, volunteer experiences, therapeutic activities to promote skill development, and independent living, self-care, personal and social relationships. Services are currently available in both in-home and facility based locations. Referrals for these services are made through DES-DDD.
	Employment Services
	The Employment Services Program provides varying levels of training and work in Facility based and community work sites, and includes job placement and competitive employment opportunities. AZTEC works closely with local businesses to provide individual and group work site opportunities for individuals. Subcontract work, provided by local industries and businesses, assists in the development of appropriate work habits, thereby increasing employment potential and providing wages to individuals.
	Transitional and educational services and supports are also provided to local high school students. The primary focus of these services is to assist students to obtain and retain part-time or full-time employment in the community. Referrals for these services are made through DES-RSA and DES-DDD.
	Residential Services
	Residential Services consist of a variety of community based residential options. One such option is twenty-four (24) hour supervised group living arrangements consisting of three to six individuals. These settings provide extensive supports and training for children and adults who have self-care, behavioral and/or medical needs and are tailored to increase skills while providing for the needs of the individual. There are currently sites for men, women and children.
	As individuals develop more independent self-help, living and community integration skills, supports also emphasize self-advocacy, decision making and problem solving resulting in less supervised living situations and/or support apartment living. Referrals for this service are made through DES-DDD.
