Major Activities

Activity 2

Community living programs in our residential programs, we served over 100 individuals at 12 different sites to provide support for individuals with disabilities to live as independently as possible in the local community. Our residential facilities are heavily focused on independence and community integration. With options ranging from independent living to 24-hour supervision, we have options to accommodate varying need levels. Helping hand's residential options include: independent living; supportive living; community-integrated living arrangements (cila); and an intermediate care facility (icf). Construction was completed on a new residential home in our local community and 8 individuals now call this house their home. We implemented a new bulk food program in our residential homes which has resulted in agency cost savings and healthy food choices for the people we serve. This change allows us to serve more fresh food options and promote healthy options for our residential clients.

Activity 3

School and pediatric outpatient clinic together as a collaborative team, the child, the parent/guardian, and our very skilled and experienced therapists and educators, work to reach each child's highest potential. Our children services team consists of special education teachers, behavioral analysts, speech and language pathologists, occupational therapist, physical therapists and music therapists. Results are life altering changes that impact and improve each child's quality of life at home, in school and in the community. During this past year, the pediatric out-patient clinic provided over 4600 hours of therapy for more than 215 children and administered free early intervention screenings for 11 families. Our therapeutic day school for children with autism increased it classroom space by over 1200sq. Ft. Which allowed us to increase student enrollment from 21 to 26 students. We helped occupational, physical, and speech and language students achieve pre-requisite requirements for graduate school admission by providing 121 hours of professional shadowing/observation time. As we look down-the-road to the coming fiscal year, we are anticipating again increasing the number of students in the school, and expanding our service options through the clinic by offering music therapy, casting/splinting/orthotics, summer basketball camp and other group opportunities.
