Adult Service Centres

Vocational and other day program services complement the residential and other community-based support systems provided under the Services for Persons with Disabilities Program.

Adult Service Centers were established in Nova Scotia to provide community-based vocational programs for adults with disabilities. Currently, Adult Service Centres provide employment, skills training and day program opportunities for adults with disabilities in communities across Nova Scotia.

Next steps

Adults with disabilities seeking admission to an Adult Service Centre can apply directly to the centre in their home area.
