“Summary of accomplishments in 2019: rt privatized and separated from the miami county board of developmental disabilities. The center of medicaid gave all ohio providers like rt until 2024 to separate from their local county board. We effectively stepped out on our own as an operating 501(c)(3) effective 1/1/18. 2019 became the second year of our privatization. We were established in 1974 as a non-profit 501(c)3 organization as a sheltered workshop for adults with developmental disabilities. Through the years, rt has revolutionized, providing pre-employment services, transportation, and adult day services. Rt's mission: helping people achieve personal success by developing skills to confidently work, interact and thrive in the community this mission was adopted in march of 2019 with seven core values: safety, collaboration, camaraderie, growth, integrity, excellence and innovation. Our strategic plan 2018-2022 focuses on employee growth and development, community-based services and getting people the right tools to succeed in competitive employment. While rt has many layers of services, we developed good action plans around each department through 2022. Rt's hr director created a mentor program, personal growth & protg (pgp) in 2019 to provide coordinators with a director as a mentor, assisting each coordinator with their individual growth within the organization. Plans were put in place to go live with this program at the start of 2020. Adult day services fully transition to our building on 1/1/19. Through our focus of moving towards providing community-based services to help people be productive members of their communities through engagement, rt was one of six agencies in ohio to be awarded the innovative business strategies for day services grant through the department of developmental disabilities. Through this grant, we were able to dive deeper into the needed changes and development of our day services. Our plan focused on day services being moved from the four walls at rt and into community settings in 2021. Rt's organizational structure from 2018, supports the shift from facility-based services to community-based services as well as uses innovative means to connect individuals with employment exploration opportunities. Employment services was able to secure the project search service for the beginning of the school year, august 2019.
