About this organization
Mission
The mission of C.E.R.T.S. is to enrich the lives of adults in Delaware with multiple, severe disabilities and, in turn, their families through active, personalized day programs, called Adult Action Centers.
About
The participants in the adult action center have specific needs that include, but are not limited to the following: communications - most of the participants use means other than verbal speech or are non-verbal. Non-ambulatory - many spend the majority of their time in a wheelchair or other specialized equipment. Personal care - all need help with bathrooming, eating and most other activities of daily living. Medically fragile - a large percentage of participants have a feeding tube and almost 100% of the young adults have a seizure disorder. We have had adults in the past with tracheotomies as well. It is these very significant health needs that have kept the participants from going to other day programs or, in the worst cases, not being able to stay at home with their families.
