“Employment services - atwork! Employment services are nationally recognized as best-practice because we empower people with disabilities others deem unemployable to find, secure, and retain good jobs that match their skills and interests. Because we believe that everyone can work, atwork! Consistently ranks in the top 10% of service providers in our state for achieving employment outcomes; and washington state consistently ranks in the top 3 in the country. Our stw program improved this fiscal year. We served more students across all three counties (28 this year compared to 19 the previous year, a 47% increase). In king county, we placed 100% of students from the bellevue school district, and 67% of students served from other districts; well above the king county average of 55% for all providers. We are proud that we continue to improve the career path of the people we support and have increased hours and wages for people already employed. Two more staff in spokane and two more staff in king successfully passed their national cesp certified employment support professional exam. Spokane had their very first county dda monitoring audit this past summer, and passed it with excellence! The feedback from the report indicated that the spokane team was doing "exceptional work and "exceeding outcomes".”

“Community inclusion - atwork! Community inclusion services ensure that people with significant disabilities stay connected to their communities. In king county, we served 4 new people for a total of 51 in fiscal year 2019. We also began providing these services in snohomish and spokane counties. The majority of people served are those of retirement age; many have complex support needs and are medically fragile. In 2019, we saw an increased emphasis on improving quality service delivery for the ci team. With technical assistance and training from wise, the ci team designed a plan and process to write better service plans, create better goals, and obtain meaningful community experiences not just outings for the people we serve in community inclusion. We continue to serve people with disabilities who are temporarily living in nursing homes. Inclusion services that get people actively involved in typical community activities (like bingo at the senior center); and most importantly making relationships and friendships that are reciprocal, are vital to the mental and physical well-being of people with disabilities.”
