Activity 2

See schedule oacds provides preschool special education and integrated programs (in which typically developing children are also served), as well as related therapy services for children ages 3 to 5. The program is offered in a center-based classroom setting, five days a week (half and full day schedules). Emphasis is placed on the acquisition of skills in the following areas: pre-academics aligned with new york state preschool standards, language and communication, socialization, adaptive and gross and fine motor development. Recognizing the growing need for full day placements, in september of 2010, we converted another one of our 12:1:2 half day classrooms into a 6:1:2 full day classroom. In addition, in april of 2011 we received approval to open a new 8:1:2 full day class in september of 2011. The addition of this class allows acds to continue to serve our ei students, including those on the autistic spectrum, as they transition into preschool years. Acds also provides home based seit services for children on the autistic spectrum in the preschool age group. Parent training is also available for this population. This year we served more than 150 children in the preschool category, in both school and home based settings. Our preschool programs were filled to capacity and 58 children graduated from our programs prepared for entry to kindergarten.

See schedule oadult residential options and other related services - adult residential servicesacds provides residential services to adults with developmental disabilities. During the year we operated 7 group homes (individualized residential alternatives or iras) for 47 individuals and 1 supervised transitional apartment for 2 individuals who exhibit an ability to live more independently. All of our homes provide round the clock supervision, with the goal of helping each resident progress towards independence in their daily life. Forty-five of our residents attend day programs and 17 individuals work either full or part-time earning a supplemental income.medicaid service coordinationin addition to residential services, acds assists clients and their families in accessing medicaid, social security and social services through our medicaid service coordination department, which grew substantially this year. Our msc's served more than 155 individuals, a significant increase from the prior year; this expansion included new services to the underserved bilingual population. In this capacity we help our clients to develop and implement plans to achieve their life goals, including placement in long term facilities such as ira's. Day habilitation servicesduring the year acds expanded its services to include day hab services, commencing in september 2010 with six participants. Most of the participants began their education at acds and have attended acds' 5plus program; they now are the pioneers for acds' day program, enhancing our mission to provide a lifetime of resources to our constituents. The 'opportunities' dayhab program was so well received that for the year commencing in september 2011, acds will be tripling the size of the program and serving twenty-one participants from both nassau and suffolk counties.recreational and respite programsbeyond the preschool years, acds provides (through our 5plus programs) recreation and respite to individuals from age 5 through adulthood. Many individuals participate in more than one program. During the year we served 240 individuals who took advantage of over 500 program slots. During the past year acds' 5plus programs offered participants the opportunity to socialize with their peers after school, in the evenings, on the weekends and during school vacation periods. We served participants with various developmental disabilities including down syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy, william's syndrome, jacobsen's syndrome as well as a variety of other disabilities. One of 5plus' unique programs is summer adventure, an overnight respite program that is offered in 2 separate weeklong programs. In 2010/2011 this program offered 84 participants ages 16 and older the opportunity to develop independence, enjoy recreational activities and practice their daily living skills by staying in a supervised dorm setting with their friends.
