What does ADVP mean in UNCLASSIFIED

An Adult Day Vendorized Program (ADVP) is a program designed to provide coordinated, comprehensive services to meet the needs of adults aged 18 and over who require support due to an intellectual and/or physical disability. The goal of ADVP is to promote independence, increase social interaction, and improve daily living skills for these individuals.

ADVPs offer a wide variety of activities designed to help participants develop or maintain skills in areas such as communication, self-care, leisure activities, behavior management, community integration, and work or volunteer placement. Activities may include classes in art or music therapy; recreational sports; outings to local attractions; individual or group counseling sessions; and much more.

The eligibility requirements for participation in ADVP vary by state and provider organization. Generally, individuals must be 18 years or older and have some type of intellectual or physical disability that requires support. Most programs also require prospective participants to undergo an assessment with a professional to determine their needs and best placement within the program.

Support services provided by ADVPs typically include mental health counseling; medical care coordination; nutrition counseling; transportation assistance; benefit consultation; job coaching and placement services; recreation programs; case management services that assess individual needs and arrange necessary services; educational classes related to independent living skills; and other services tailored to the individual’s unique needs.

Length of participation varies depending on the individual’s goals. Some individuals may spend only a few hours per week in the program while others may attend full-time for several months at a time. This depends largely on what each participant hopes to gain from being involved in the program.

Cost often varies depending on insurance coverage but most programs accept Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance plans and offer sliding fee scales for those who need financial assistance. It is important to contact your local provider for specific information about fees associated with their particular program.
