South Aberdeenshire Day Services activities and opportunities

We offer a person-centred programme of activities that is tailored to meet individual needs and choices.

Our staff use various communication systems to support people who have limited or no verbal communication or a hearing impairment. To make sure we get it right for you, we work closely with health care and social work teams.

Courses

We offer a wide range of ASDAN accredited courses which have been specifically designed for adults with learning disabilities, promoting independence and building links in the community. There is a choice of over 70 different subjects, ranging from cooking to volunteering. All of which are person-centred and evidenced through photography and video in a portfolio.

We are registered as a Centre of Excellence for our ASDAN work.
