In this expansion, players have access to new quests, new enemies, and new items. The quests in Return of the Witch Lord are designed to be challenging and require strategic thinking and teamwork to complete. Players must explore dungeons, battle monsters, and solve puzzles to progress through the game.

Day Habilitation

Opportunity Village believes that people with intellectual disabilities and their families should be in control when it comes to where and how they are served. We provide rehabilitation options to suit different needs and levels of care.
We have two care options available:

• PRIDE: serves people with very profound physical and intellectual disabilities who require 24-hour care and supervision; and
• Enable: supports people with severe intellectual and physical disabilities, allowing each to participate in a variety of activities and rehabilitative initiatives.

If you are after further resources on this topic, from legal aid to community support, go to our Advocacy & Resources section.

We help people learn job and life skills, find employment, earn a living and take advantage of creative opportunities to lead more integrated lives. If you live in the Las Vegas area, a great place to start is with our range of Pre-Vocational Services, including:

• Campus-based Training: tailored coaching that focuses on building job and life skills.
• Pathway to Work: community-based on-the-job training utilizing paid work experience to become job ready.
• Entry: starter program with the outcome of transitioning into advanced vocational training programs or obtaining a wage-paying job.

Each program provides the framework to build life and job skills, on-the-job training, paid work experience, and a pathway to pride, purpose, and a paycheck.

Our tailored employment services focus on breaking down barriers preventing individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities from finding and keeping employment. In our experience, we often find simple modifications or accommodations are needed. Then a person with a disability can perform their job functions at the same level as a person without disabilities.

• Job Discovery Program: delivers on-the-job training, ensuring positive outcomes for the employee and employer. We developed a teaching, placing and coaching framework to boost confidence and increase employability skills – both the worker and business benefit. It’s a win-win!

We work with the Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation, the Department of Veterans Affairs, Clark County School District and several other community partners. So, if you are connected to other services, it can be a simple step to our Assessments area.
