Day Services

Development, Education, Learning, Training & Activation

We provide a structured and supportive environment where adults with intellectual disabilities/Autism (ASD) can build skills, forge connections, and achieve greater independence.

Delta Services offers 30 hours per week day services and part-time attendance is also available, tailored to the specific needs of each person.

Delta Services Philosophy is complimented by The "New Directions" Policy.

Delta Services proudly delivers its Day Services in line with the HSE's national "New Directions" policy. This person-centred approach ensures that support is focused around the individual, based on their identified needs and wishes.

The core goal of New Directions is to make community inclusion a real and achievable option for everyone. We provide the appropriate supports for each individual, regardless of their level of intellectual disability, empowering them to make choices, create plans, and become active members of their community.

Our Ethos & Commitment – Delta Day Services

Our Day Service ethos is grounded in upholding the fundamental rights of every person we support. This includes each individual’s right to equality, dignity, respect, privacy, and safety.

We are committed to creating an environment where every participant can maintain their personal identity, express themselves freely, and feel empowered in their daily lives. We support each person in making meaningful choices, encourage autonomy, independence, and ownership over the decisions that matter to them.

In line with the HSE’s New Directions policy, we are dedicated to promoting community inclusion, ensuring that each person has the opportunity to take part in ordinary community life, build meaningful social connections, and access local amenities and activities that matter to them.

We also uphold the New Directions values of person‑centredness, active citizenship, and high‑quality, flexible supports, enabling individuals to pursue their aspirations and live a life of their choosing.
