The Regional Society for Support of People with Intellectual disabilities – Vidin is the first non-governmental organization to become a provider of social services funded by the state budget. One of these services is a Day activity centre for adults with intellectual disabilities. The capacity of the Day activity centre is 30.
The Day activity centre offers individual programmes and group activities as well as entertainment, relaxation and interest’s groups. The clients are trained in skills for independent living. Rehabilitation and different labour activities are offered every day – cooking, hygiene, floriculture, domestic chores, arts, reading and writing, music therapy.
In the Day activity centre there is also a hairdressing studio. In the hairdressing area clients learn how to make some easy hairstyles, to dye hair and participate in the overall maintenance of the studio. For these activities clients are supported by a hairdresser.
To increase participation and confidence of the clients a self advocacy group is formed.
To provide quality services to the clients in the Day activity centre work social workers, occupational therapists, a psychologist, a nurse, a rehabilitator and a driver.
