The Day Program
The Better Day Alliance Foundation was contacted by Nicki Gawley and informed that the Day Program was having trouble finding
room in the budget for new and exciting programs for the terrific people that use their services. The BDAF was happy to hire Zoo
To You (as seen on Breakfast Television) to bring their exotic animals to the Adult Day Treatment Program. Jen from Zoo to You
was fantastic and brought some cuddly (and some creepy) creatures with her! The men and women that attended that day all
seemed to have a great time. Below are some of the pictures of what was a fantastic day!

The Day Program's aim is to enhance the quality of life for deaf persons with complex needs by offering the opportunity for
meaningful day-to-day experiences building on each individual's strengths and interests, as well as meeting the common needs of
the group. Clients in this program may be developmentally delayed, physically challenged or have complex medical issues in
addition to deafness. They can be either an adult or a senior citizen. In each case, their interests and abilities are taken into
consideration and activities are designed accordingly. There is also a social component to the program.

Dear Better Day Alliance Foundation,
I want to thank you for providing our Day
Program with the Zoo to You. It was a
wonderful afternoon and a great experience
for our clientele. Everyone enjoyed
themselves. There was one client in particular
that stood out from the rest. She would
normally keep a distance from large groups
and very little communication with her peers.
Though today she joined in with the entire
group and socialized with everyone including
the animals! You have given our clientele a gift
that they will never forget! Thank you BDAF,
you are doing great things for those in need!
