If you are sponsored by one of the agencies listed below they will pay for the cost of using CIC's day services. They will contact CIC for you to get services started.

Other sponsors might be another county Health and Human Services Department or Family Care Sponsor if you are a resident of a county other than Portage County.

What may I expect while I am enrolled in CIC Day Services?

Getting Started:

- You will participate in individual and group activities where you will be assisted in identifying your interests and abilities.
- You and staff will talk about your skills, expectations, goals, and dreams in the areas of socialization, mobility, self-care, communication, leisure, health/safety, and vocational. With your permission we will talk to your family and friends about these as well.
The Next Step:
