About
The Skills Development Center is a place where adults, 18 and older, with developmental and intellectual disabilities can learn vocational and life skills while enjoying the companionship of others. Located in Henrico, VA, the center was started by parents who realized that the many support systems available to their adults ended after graduation from high school. The Skills Development Center strives to provide a place where these opportunities are available to help each individual succeed. They offer a variety of programs, including internships, cooking classes, and facilitated recreation, to help their clients develop skills and behaviors necessary for employment and independent living. The center's philosophy is centered around providing a family environment and a place where clients can work on their independence, building friendships, and working on their skills and behaviors. Their mission is to have their clients practice a variety of marketable skills and appropriate social behaviors to prepare them for employment through internships and guided group activities.
