We provide the following services via our sheltered workshop program:

• Evaluation
  • LCAEC provides a full-range assessment of a person's capabilities. Once individuals have been evaluated, they are placed in an appropriate program. After placement, individuals may advance to higher programs as skills improve. If clients are in need of outside services, they will be assisted by our agency.
• Developmental training
  • This is a program which is designed to comprehensively prepare adults with developmental disabilities for community integration at the level that is least restrictive and most meaningful for each individual. It promotes acquisition of positive skills and behaviors in the following areas of major life activity: self-care, language/communication, learning, mobility/motor development, self-direction, capacity for independent living and productivity.
• Work activities
  • Services are provided for personal living, socialization/communication, and community living skills; vocational training; sensory stimulation; and informal counseling. The program is separated into four levels: Basic, Regular, Intermediate, and Advanced. Each individual is placed in an appropriate program and may advance to higher programs as skills improve.
• Work adjustment training
