Day Training and Habilitation (DT&H)

What is Day Training and Habilitation?
Day Training and Habilitation (DT&H) are licensed supports to help adults:

• Develop and maintain life skills
• Participate in community life
• Engage in proactive and satisfying activities of their own choosing
DT&H services are located in 81 counties in Minnesota and serve over 12,000 persons.


Who is eligible for DT&H services?
Eligibility for DT&H services is determined through a screening process. To be eligible for DT&H services a person must meet all of the following conditions:

• Be 18 years of age or older and have a diagnosis of mental retardation or a related condition
• Receive a screening for home and community-based services or reside in an Intermediate Care Facility for Persons with Mental Retardation or Related Conditions (ICF/MR)
• Have their health and safety in the community addressed in their plan of care
• Make an informed choice to receive DT&H as part of their Individual Service Plan (ISP)
For persons who receive DT&H services under the MR/RC Waiver, they must have at least one residential service offered through the waiver.

Persons who reside in an ICF/MR now have a choice of day services as do persons who receive a home and community-based waiver.


What services are provided by a DT&H?
• Supervision, training and assistance in the areas of self-care, communication, socialization and behavior management
• Supported employment and work-related activities
• Community integrated activities, including the use of leisure and recreation time
• Training in community survival skills, money management and therapeutic activities that increase the adaptive living skills of an individual
• Non - medical transportation services to enable persons to participate in above listed services (DT&H sites have a separate transportation rate.)

How can I get more information about DT&H services?
Persons who are interested in DT&H services should contact their local county social services agency. For more information, contact your local county agency.
