Transition Planning – This service provides students with help for going from high school to adult lives. The CBS team helps students make a plan for what their next step is and what their future looks like. This service includes navigating systems, OPWDD Front door, collaboration, access to resources, career & educational pursuits, and day programs.  

Coming soon! CBS is launching an after-school program for children with disabilities. This program will offer a safe and exciting environment where children can learn and interact, and may take place at the Dutchess County Farm, or the school. 

This at home program helps children become more independent and have community engagement, while being in the comfortability of their own home. The services provided include adaptive skill development, relationship building, social skills development, travel training, money management, leisure skills, behavior development for community access, personal care, supervision, and protective oversight. 

Respite Care – Give yourself a break and let CBS provide you with a professional to take care of your loved one while you take time for yourself. In-home respite care is where the caregiver comes to the home to attend to the physical, safety, social, and recreational needs of the loved one. Respite care at Cultivating Dreams Farm is an engaging program where your loved one gets help with life skills, art, skill-building, engagement all while at our farm during the time you may need a break. 

This program is designed to help individuals who care for a loved one with a disability. With this program, these caregivers can get paid for their services and care. It offers things like paid training, flexible scheduling, competitive pay, and a mobile app for clocking in and out.  

CBS provides assisted living for adults with disabilities in Westchester County, offering 24-hour support in a safe, comfortable environment. These housing sites are designed to promote independence and personal quality of life, while also treating residents with respect, safety, and dignity.

This program is designed to help adults with disabilities achieve their goals and make a life plan. It offers one-on-one support, at home or a non-certified location, to master skills such as traveling, money management, building relationships, personal care, appropriate behavior, etc. 

This program is for individuals to spend their day with friends and supportive staff in an innovative space designed for fun and learning. With this program, the individuals can engage in projects, learn about the world, work on computer skills, etc. It also offers a relaxation station with massage chairs for whoever wants to take a break and wind down. 

This program is like the site-based program, except in this program, the individual can go to more places to learn and engage. They engage in things like growing vegetables on the farm, training service dogs, delivering meals to the elderly, and collecting food for the hungry. 

 CBS offers a training program designed to help individuals prepare for employment. This program focuses on helping those individuals develop essential workplace skills through hands-on training, internships, volunteering, and coaching so they can gain the academic, social, and job readiness skills they need. CBS also offers a state-of-the-art workforce training hub, called the Impact Center for Learning (ICL). At the impact center, individuals will engage in hands-on experiences, so they can build the confidence and competences needed in the workplace. 

After the training program, the next step is supported employment. We take the time to get to know the individual’s interests, strengths, and career goals so we can help find the job that is right for them. We develop a personalized employment plan made just for the individual based on the type of work they want to pursue, and then we network so they can get connected with opportunities in Westchester and Dutchess counties. The goal is to help them secure a position that matches what they want to do, while also growing their independence and long-term success. 

CBS provides staffing services for businesses, which focus on building a diverse and inclusive workforce. We help train workers for success at no cost, making it so they can go to work with all the valuable and important skills. Such as communication, computer skills, and the ability to travel. We stand behind our workers and do everything we can to make sure they meet their business’ needs.
