In the context of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) services, a Client Daily Schedule is a structured plan outlining the activities, services, and support a client receives throughout their day. It ensures consistency, promotes independence, and aligns with their Individualized Service Plan (ISP) or Person-Centered Plan (PCP).
Key Components of a Client Daily Schedule:
- Personal Care Activities – Bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and medication administration.
- Meal Times – Scheduled breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks, often considering dietary needs.
- Therapies & Interventions – Physical, occupational, speech, or behavioral therapy sessions.
- Work & Vocational Activities – Supported employment, job coaching, or skill-building programs.
- Day Programs – Structured programs focusing on socialization, learning, and community engagement.
- Recreational & Social Activities – Exercise, arts and crafts, music therapy, outings, or peer interactions.
- Community Integration – Volunteering, shopping trips, library visits, or attending events.
- Rest & Leisure Time – Downtime, sensory breaks, or individualized relaxation activities.
- Transportation Schedules – Pick-up/drop-off for services, appointments, and activities.
The schedule is person-centered, ensuring activities match the client’s preferences, goals, and support needs. It is often created by caregivers, direct support professionals (DSPs), or case managers in collaboration with the client and their family.
