Day Services

We have been helping folks in the IDD community since 1998. Below are the Day Services we provide in the Asheville-Buncombe area and surrounding areas.

LINCS Day Program

LINCS is a day program for adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD), focusing on developing habilitation skills, independence, and social skills. The program features three classrooms based on skill levels, where individuals engage in activities like reading, math, games, artwork, exercise, dancing, and sign language. Weekly outings include visits to libraries, parks, and other local attractions. Monthly activities include hand drumming sessions, musical performances, birthday parties, talent shows, carnivals, and holiday celebrations.

LINCS staff receive continuous training to ensure high-quality care, with regular supervision meetings to address concerns, set goals, and review progress.

We offer the following services at LINCS:

  • Day Support Group
  • Day Support Individual
  • Community Network
  • Supported Employment 

We also provide transportation for Asheville and most surrounding areas. We have about 50 individuals that attend the program, and we are growing!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Yes! We have several AFL homes who provide residential services during the morning and evening, allowing the member to attend the Day Program mid-day. This will depend on the services allocated in your member's budget.

In the class rooms, the individuals are socializing with one another, learning something new from the teachers and staff, and participating in a fun group activity whether it is art work, story time, exercising, dancing, or learning sign language. Once a week the classrooms planned outings to various locations like to the local libraries, local parks, Arboretum, Nature Center, bowling, movie theater, etc. We have monthly activities like someone comes out and teach those interested to play drums and have some people come out and play music for the individuals. We have parties, talent shows, and a carnival, and so much more throughout the calendar year.

There are three classrooms divided by individual's interest, age, and abilities. LINCS serves all ages 18 and up.

LINCS hours of operations are Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM - 3:00PM
