The
Adult Day Services (ADS) program at The Threshold
Incorporated in West Bend is a multi-faceted
program serving adults who have a severe/profound
cognitive disability, are challenged by multiple
disabilities, or a traumatic head injury. The
ADS program is designed to provide alternative

necessary for community based employment. All
individuals in the ADS program are offered opportunities

the Threshold's facility in West Bend or in the
individual's community.
