"Together, We Bloom!"
Blooming Connections Adult Day Program proudly serves adults age 18+ and older with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD).
About
our company
At Blooming Connections Adult Day Program, we believe every individual deserves the opportunity to build meaningful skills, develop greater independence, form genuine connections, and participate fully in their community.
Our program provides a supportive, engaging, and person-centered environment where participants can work toward individualized goals while developing practical skills that can be used in everyday life.
We recognize that every person is different. That is why our approach combines individualized programming, skill development, behavioral support, community integration, social opportunities, and ongoing progress monitoring to help each participant move toward their own goals.
Our goal is simple: to help individuals turn their goals into meaningful, measurable progress and greater independence.
Personalized | Person Centered Programming
No two participants are exactly alike. We take the time to understand each individual's strengths, interests, needs, preferences, and personal goals.
Programs and activities are tailored to support areas such as:
Communication and social skills
Independent living skills
Community participation
Decision-making and choice-making
Self-advocacy
Emotional and behavioral regulation
Money management
Safety awareness
Household and daily living skills
Vocational and pre-vocational skills
Building confidence and independence
We focus on what each participant can do, while creating opportunities to build upon their existing strengths and develop new skills.
BCBA-Supported Behavioral Services
Blooming Connections incorporates Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) support into our program to help participants work toward individualized behavioral, social, communication, and independence goals.
Our BCBA services can support the development of practical skills while helping staff better understand and respond to individual behavioral needs.
Depending on the participant's needs and applicable authorization or service plan, BCBA involvement may include:
Individualized behavioral assessment and goal development
Development and implementation of individualized behavior support strategies
Skill acquisition programming
Social and communication skill development
Support with emotional and behavioral regulation
Data collection and progress monitoring
Staff guidance and training
Ongoing review and modification of strategies based on participant progress
Our behavioral approach is designed to be practical, respectful, and person-centered. We want skills learned at Blooming Connections to carry over into everyday life — at home, in the community, and in other environments.
Community Connection | Community-Based Skill Building
We believe the community is an important part of learning. Our participants regularly have opportunities to practice skills outside of the program through community-based activities and outings. These experiences may include visits to:
Libraries
Museums
Parks and recreation centers
Restaurants and cafés
Stores and shopping centers

We provide opportunities to practice communication, social interaction, money management, safety awareness, decision-making, appropriate community behavior, and independence in real-world settings.

Bloom Café (Coffee & Snack Bar)
Real-Life Skills. Real Choices. Real Practice.
Our Bloom Café is more than a coffee and snack area — it is an opportunity for participants to practice meaningful daily living skills in a familiar and supportive environment.
Participants can enjoy complimentary coffee and tea while also having the opportunity to purchase optional snacks and beverages.
The café provides opportunities to practice:
Making choices
Counting money
Identifying coins and bills
Completing simple transactions
Communicating with others
Waiting and taking turns
Making independent decisions
Practicing budgeting and money-management skills
Prices are intentionally kept affordable so participants can practice these skills in a comfortable environment without the pressure or expense of a traditional retail setting.
Technology-Assisted Learning
Technology can be a powerful tool for learning, communication, independence, and self-expression.
Blooming Connections incorporates technology and digital tools into appropriate activities to help participants develop skills and explore different ways of learning and communicating.
Technology may be used to support:
Communication
Learning and education
Visual schedules and routines
Skill practice
Social interaction
Cognitive activities
Organization
Independence
We continually look for innovative tools that can make learning more engaging, accessible, and meaningful.
Ongoing Progress & Support
Progress doesn't happen overnight, and every individual's journey looks different.
Our team works collaboratively to support participant goals, monitor progress, identify areas where additional support may be beneficial, and adjust programming as needs evolve.
When appropriate, BCBA support and other professional input can help guide individualized strategies and ensure that programming remains focused on meaningful outcomes.
We believe progress should be celebrated — whether that means learning a new skill, becoming more independent, making a new friend, participating in a community activity, communicating a need, or accomplishing something that once felt difficult.
Our Philosophy
At Blooming Connections, we don't believe success looks the same for everyone.
For one participant, success may mean independently purchasing a snack at the Bloom Café. For another, it may mean making a new friend, participating in a community outing, learning a new daily living skill, communicating more effectively, or becoming more comfortable navigating the community.
We meet people where they are, build on their strengths, and help them move toward where they want to be.
Our mission is to create meaningful opportunities for individuals to connect, grow, participate, and thrive.
September at Blooming Connections!
September was filled with community adventures, fall creativity, self-expression, and meaningful connections at Blooming Connections!
Participants explored the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, SEBs Recreation Center, and Anderson Farms, enjoyed a Georgetown train ride, and took part in many more experiences throughout the month. These outings offered opportunities to explore new interests, practice community safety, make choices, and build independence while spending time with friends.
Back at the center, we welcomed the season with DIY fall wreaths, canvas painting with Serena, and other hands-on activities. Creative projects gave participants opportunities to express their personalities, explore colors and textures, practice fine motor skills, and create something uniquely their own.
A special highlight was our Blooming Talent Show, which celebrated participants’ individual interests and abilities. It was an opportunity to express themselves, build confidence, and cheer each other on—because everyone deserves a moment to shine!
Throughout the month, individualized support and participant choice remained at the heart of our program. Whether someone needed extra time, sensory breaks, 1:1 assistance, or an adapted activity, our focus was on supporting meaningful participation in ways that respected each person’s preferences and comfort.
September reminded us that growth happens in both big adventures and everyday moments—trying something new, making a choice, sharing a talent, and connecting with others. We’re grateful to share these experiences as we continue building a community where every person feels valued and included.
Together we bloom. 🌱
We update our monthly highlights so you can see the latest adventures, activities, and memories we've been making together!

“A Place Where My Son Truly Belongs
As a parent of a nonverbal adult son with significant behavioral support needs, finding the right program felt impossible — until we found Blooming Connections.
From day one, the team didn’t just accept my son — they embraced him. They took the time to truly understand him: his communication style, his triggers, his joys. The level of individualized care here is something I’ve never experienced anywhere else.
The attention to nutrition is exceptional. Knowing that my son is being nourished thoughtfully and intentionally gives me a peace of mind I can’t put into words.
What moves me most is that Blooming Connections doesn’t stand still. They are actively expanding their services to better support individuals like my son — showing that this isn’t just a job to them. It’s a mission. It’s love in action.
To every family out there navigating this journey and wondering if a place like this exists — it does. Blooming Connections is proof that our loved ones deserve more than care. They deserve to bloom.
We are beyond grateful”
— Theresa G“Great Day Program! My 26 year old daughter with Down Syndrome can't miss a day, she loves it! They do everything from having fun, going on day trips and completing enrichment projects, like crafts, cooking, and exercising. The list goes on.
— Ana V.“It’s always satisfying when you find what you’re seeking and here at Blooming connections as cliché as it is, we have had new friendships and opportunities bloom. From day, one when My Daughter took them by the hand and left, she was excited and happy. Another family member telling me that they’re in good hands. It’s a place where time stands still and a half an hour goes by just like that hearing about how the day went. They get it, kind, creative, they listen to what people want and need and initiate conversations such as new apps to improve communication opportunities. We need more folks like them.
