Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Developmentally Disabled Centers, Disabilities, Human Services
Mission: To provide support for growth, learning, development, and greater independence.
Programs: Day training and habilitation program (dth): the number of people attending the program this year has declined slightly. Our job coaches are continuing to teach and train more individuals on a variety of vocational skills. Our 2018 consumer satisfaction survey continued to show appreciation for our program and the opportunities that we provide.
supported employment program (ses): increased the number of people securing employment in the community at or above minimum wage. The number of businesses that contacted us and that we were able to place workers with has gone up again this year. This continued increase from previous years shows that the support services we provide to both the employee and employer and the level of actual work performed is exceeding expectations. We are continuing to encourage more workers to enter this service and increase the number of employers taking them on.
facility based services continued to grow in 2017 and we continued to develop relationships with regional businesses and manufacturers to provide a variety of work contracts. This part of our service allows us to provide a continuum of services while providing the most independent option available for each individual.
