Adult Developmental Training

Located on the Mill Creek Campus, Marklund’s Adult Development Training program serves up to 102 clients in six classrooms.

Developmental Training creates individualized programming for adults with physical and medical disabilities who are over the age of 22. Our goal is to empower our clients to achieve their highest personal potential.

We focus on daily living and vocational skills to improve each individual’s level of independence. Individual assessments are completed by our team of staff therapists to develop each individual’s programming plan.

Programming includes activities of daily living, communication development, physical & occupational therapy, speech & language therapy, music therapy, snoezelen therapy, recreational therapy with adapted sports leagues, leisure activities, aromatherapy, aquatic therapy in our on-side pool, and more. We also offer a wide range of daily community outings for client participation. Each client selects at least two outings per month to attend.

Staff ensures that clients receive a well-rounded host of experiences that afford them optimum growth opportunities.

In the classroom, staff to student ratio is 1:5 or 1:6 with a developmental instructor and developmental trainers. Staff nurses are on-site to address medical needs.

Marklund’s Developmental Training program has received the highest level of accreditation through the Central Accreditation for Rehabilitative Facilities (CARF) for the last ten years.

Tuition for Developmental Training varies upon each individual’s circumstances
