The TITANS Program is one of the first adult day programs created by a Special Recreation Association in the state of Illinois and now has a wait list for participants waiting to join.

The TITANS adult day program runs year round, five days a week at two locations. The purpose of the program is to support positive life skills development based on the specific needs of each individual 18 years or older. TITANS gives participants an outlet after high school and recently split into two different groups to account for its growth. The primary activities at TITANS revolve around helping the transition for individuals with special needs after high school and involves getting out in the community like completing a shopping scavenger hunt at the Grocery Store, working on life skills like using a calculator to prepare a shopping trip budget and general recreation including nature walks or swimming at an area pool.
