The Nelson Day Support Program is located at the American Legion building in Shipman VA just a few miles from Lovingston VA. The Day Support Program assists adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to be more independent, learn new things, visit new places and make new friends. We provide individualized training in daily living skills, socialization and communication. Activities and experiences are designed to enable individuals to achieve their highest potential in interdependence and participation in the community.
