Day program - the goal of the day habilitation program is to identify and provide activities and supports that are consistent, proactive, less structured and not as demanding as those on work activities. This approach allows the individual to acquire, retain and improve self- help, socialization, and adaptive skills necessary for successful participation in integrated home and community settings. Program objectives are focused around the development and/or maintenance of individual skill, interest and abilities.

Children's services - the target population of the program has historically been to serve children from birth to age 21 years who remain ineligible for public school services due to the severity of their handicap. The programs offered include preschool (3-5) and school age (5-21). Without these programs, these children would go un-served and probably languish at home. The goal of nysarc inc. Suffolk chapter's children's services program is to help these children reach some measure of their social and intellectual potential so that they remain in the community as productive members of society.

Intermediate care facilities - the icf program provides residential services for those children and adults who cannot access a conventional community residence due to the severity of their handicap. The goal of this program is to provide each multiple disabled individual a wholesome living arrangement under barrier-free architectural conditions and to offer these residential services as an alternative to living at home or living in an institution.
