Wayne County Day Treatment Services or DTS does a lot for Traumatic Brain Injury clients.  You have to register with Special Tree to get into the program.  DTS gives you a job, for example this blog is my job.  

            There are two portions of the Day Treatment Program, a vocational and a recreational.  The vocational portion is what gives clients supported employment to work on building employability skills.  The program helps people prepare to get a job after full recovery.  With TBI, however recovery can be a very long journey.  That is why the vocational program has grown to assist clients that will require supported employment for long periods of time.  That is where the clients are given an opportunity to build upon the skills to become a valued employee.

            The recreational portion of the program encourages clients to become active in their community.   Clients are able to work on social skills within groups of their peers to overcome the fear of talking to strangers.  They are encouraged to build friendships with other clients and the outside world.  The recreational portion of the program combines fun with building multiple skills for leisure purposes.

            The Wayne County Day Treatment Services Program is very helpful to clients that may need help with interacting in the community.  They help to build a variety of skills needed to become an employable citizen.  They also help clients to build the skills needed in everyday life to interact with their peers.  All in all it is a great place to go and make new friends and build skills.
