For adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), having access to meaningful, structured programming can make all the difference in leading a fulfilling and independent life. Day programs for adults with developmental disabilities bridge the gap between potential and opportunity.
But what does that actually look like day to day? Here’s a closer look at each of the Center of Family Love’s three core programs and what a typical day might look like for the individuals they serve.
Developmental Program
No two people learn the same way, and at Center of Family Love, that truth shapes everything about the Developmental Program. Our specially created day programs for adults with developmental disabilities draws from decades of experience and current research. We’re able to deliver highly personalized learning that adapts to each individual’s needs, abilities, and goals.
A Typical Day In This Program
A participant arrives and settles into a familiar, structured routine, one that feels comfortable, not rigid. Staff provides compassionate, hands-on support every step of the way, celebrating progress no matter how big or small. The focus is always on empowerment. Someone might be learning to navigate a conversation, manage daily tasks, or build confidence in a social setting. Whatever personal skill it is, the developmental program meets participants exactly where they are.
Throughout the day, they might
- work on communication skills in a small group setting.
- practice personal care and hygiene routines.
- engage in problem-solving activities.
- work toward goals outlined in their personalized care plan.
Vocational Programs
For those ready to take steps toward meaningful employment, the Center of Family Love Vocational day programs for adults with developmental disabilities offers something truly unique. As the home of Oklahoma’s first-of-its-kind vocational programs for neurodiverse individuals, Center of Family Love has spent over four decades helping participants discover and develop their professional abilities in real-world environments.
A Typical Day In This Program
A participant arrives and heads into one of the Center of Family Love vocational workshop settings. Here they’ll spend time working alongside staff and peers on tasks connected to one of the Center of Family Love vocational partners. Our vocational day programs for adults with developmental disabilities include Kristy Lyn’s Flowers & Gifts, Filters for Life, OEMA and Norek.
Vocational training is woven into every part of the day, making the experience practical, purposeful, and deeply meaningful. Beyond employment readiness, participants build confidence, develop routines, and gain a sense of accomplishment that carries over into every area of their lives.
Throughout the day, they practice job-related skills like:
- following instructions.
- completing tasks independently.
- building workplace communication habits.
- taking pride in a finished product.

It offers a true home! Our group homes provide family-style living across multiple locations, including the main Okarche campus as well as homes in Kingfisher and El Reno.
A Typical Day In This Program
Residents wake up in a warm, familiar environment and move through their day with as much independence as they’re able. They’re free to move about campus as they choose, and participation in recreational activities is always encouraged.

For residents in the Center of Family Love intermediate care facilities, 24-hour care is available for those who need more hands-on assistance with everyday tasks like eating, hygiene, exercise, and socialization.
