Building Achieva’s Future Annual Report 2 021

Building Achieva’s Future Dear Friends, Health and safety has been and continues to be a paramount consideration at Achieva as we continue to deal with COVID-19. The children and adults we serve, their families, and our valued employees all deserve praise for how they’ve adapted and persevered throughout the pandemic.

While health and safety remains a top priority at Achieva, we’re proud of the fact that we’ve remained committed to our vision - that all people with disabilities lead lives of personal significance. That means focusing on the needs and dreams of the people we support. It means developing new and innovative services. And it means building a foundation for the future.

organizations (like Autism Connection of Pennsylvania) to build additional in-house competencies, family support resources, and advocacy influence when it comes to people with autism; and, adopting a Mission, Vision, and Goals Statement on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), which will serve as a solid foundation for Achieva’s first comprehensive DEI plan.

During Fiscal Year 2020-2021, we did that by continuing the important work contained in Achieva’s Strategic Vision Plan. Some of those initiatives include making person-centered philosophy fundamental to everything Achieva does; advocating for government funding and policies that prioritize people with disabilities and their caregivers; affiliating with new

We’re so thankful for the people we have the privilege to serve, their families, and our employees, as well as our community partners and donors. The Achieva Family of Organizations ended Fiscal Year 2020-21 having accomplished a great deal, yet more importantly, we believe we ended the year well-positioned to embrace the future.

Statement of Mission: Achieva advocates for, empowers, and supports people with disabilities and their families throughout their lives.

Statement of Vision: Achieva envisions a community where all people with disabilities lead lives of personal significance. Achieva was founded in 1951 by a group of family members who all desired the same thing: to ensure their children with disabilities had the same chances in life that all children should be given. Their commitment helped establish chapters of The Arc in Allegheny, Westmoreland, and Beaver Counties and contributed to a nationwide movement that changed the long history of isolation and segregation for both children and adults with disabilities. Achieva proudly continues its affiliation with The Arc to this day.

Itty Bitty Bins Make A Big Impact

Beverly’s Birthdays founder, Megs Yunn with Emily Hayburn, Achieva Early Intervention Outreach Coordinator

Achieva Early Intervention is proud to partner with many community organizations, including a special relationship with Beverly’s Birthdays. Beverly’s Birthdays, started in 2012 by Megs Yunn, initially existed to provide birthday cheer for children experiencing homelessness or families in need and has evolved into a multi-level support agency for families in need. Since 2019, Achieva Early Intervention has been exclusively partnering with Beverly’s Babies, the division that supports pregnant women and new moms through community baby showers and by providing resources and essential baby items.

Through Achieva Early Intervention’s partnership with Beverly’s, the Achieva Early Intervention Outreach Coordinator attends each baby shower and provides resources and information to the pregnant women and new moms in attendance. The attendees can ask questions, share concerns, and are provided with takeaway items and additional developmental milestone screening information. This unique opportunity offers a one-on-one chance to talk about the importance of early intervention, monitoring developmental milestones, in addition to the other services that Achieva Early Intervention provides.

Achieva Pilots Transportation Option Additionally, through various donations from other agency partners, Achieva Early Intervention has also provided books and early intervention infographics through the Books at Birth program to be placed inside the Itty Bitty Birthday Cheer bins that are provided to new and pregnant moms. Nearly 5,000 families with newborns and pregnant women have been supported by the Beverly’s Babies initiative.

Unlike typical ACCESS service, which requires a reservation one day in advance of the trip, Achieva has teamed up with ACCESS (exclusively) to pilot transportation services that allow the rider to schedule a same-day trip. In other words, when something comes up, your schedule unexpectedly changes, or you just want to use the service spontaneously, ACCESS will accommodate your request in the pilot region. ACCESS provides paratransit services that not only meet but exceed all ADA minimum requirements. ACCESS is a coordinated, shared-ride paratransit service, which has been providing door-to-door transportation in Allegheny County since 1979.

Ryan Surpasses Expectations In His Own Home Ryan Boroch grew up in his family home. His parents Sue and Kevin provided a loving, supportive environment. As Ryan finished his education, both he and his parents knew that it was time for change. After all, don’t most young adults head out on their own? At age 25, Ryan had more considerations than most young adults. His complex needs added extra concern for all involved. Still, his parents moved forward, along with Achieva’s help. They located a house for Ryan within minutes of their own home. Leading up to the move, everyone was nervous.

One year later, Ryan is prospering and enjoying the good life he has helped to create. His parents believe the smooth transition was a true miracle. Kirsten Beining, Community Living Supervisor at Achieva, said “Ryan’s parents searched and searched for a home that would fit all of his needs. It’s the perfect home for Ryan and you can tell how comfortable he feels by his daily laughter!” In the past year, Ryan has made incredible progress. He enjoys walking in the community, watching videos and taking outings to places like the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium.

If he is having a rough day, Ryan retreats to his favorite room in the house, a custom sensory room. Aquariums, lights on the wall, and a sensory board provide a calming environment for Ryan to relax, laugh, and escape. Ryan’s parents and Achieva have made it possible for Ryan to develop a life similar to his peers. His parents remain involved, stopping by for a visit or checking in with staff to ensure he is okay. Ryan had a great life at their home, but he’s surpassing expectations in a home he calls his own.

Misrepresentation In The Criminal Justice System The Disability and Justice Community Collaboration Initiative (DJCCI) DJCCI creates collaborative partnerships between law enforcement, emergency medical services, courts, criminal justice professionals, victim services, and the disability community. Nationally, people with intellectual disabilities and developmental delays are disproportionately represented in the criminal justice system. A US Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) report from 2015 found that 2 in 10 prisoners and 3 in 10 inmates have a cognitive disability. Intellectual disability and developmental delay (IDD) is the most common disability

reported among prisoners and inmates. An additional report from BJS found that people with disabilities are victimized at 2.5 times the rate of people without disabilities. People with disabilities need help, as do the criminal justice professionals who are working with them. We continue to celebrate the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, but we must realize that there are still obstacles for people with disabilities, especially in the justice system. Title II of the ADA supports the goals of ensuring public safety, promoting public welfare, and avoiding unnecessary criminal

justice involvement for people with disabilities. The DJCCI can provide training and resources for professionals in criminal justice, law enforcement, emergency medical services, courts, and victim services to help people with disabilities who are victims of crime or possible criminal defendants. There is also a focus on diversion, with an overall emphasis on skills needed to work more effectively with people with disabilities and understanding that “Crisis is Not Crime.”

“The court system often fails people with IDD and autism. DJCCI is taking leaps toward reform.”

Advocacy Efforts Highlight Staffing Shortages, Plight of Families The intellectual disability and autism (ID/A) system in Pennsylvania is in crisis due to the statewide shortage of direct support professionals (DSPs). Provider organizations across the state cannot recruit and retain enough DSPs to fill shifts. The community ID/A system is totally reliant on government fee schedule rates that do not support DSP wages and benefits that are competitive with private for-profit businesses. About 75 percent of people with ID/A are cared for by family members. Many of these family members have had to give up

a job to stay home and care for someone with a disability. In addition to the loss of income, family members are losing their health insurance. Many are dipping into their retirement accounts to pay bills, and many are in fear of not being able to pay their mortgage or rent. Nancy Murray, President of The Arc of Greater Pittsburgh and Senior Vice President of Achieva, serves on The Provider Alliance’s (TPA) Governmental Affairs Committee. She has been at the forefront of meeting with members of the General Assembly, Governor’s Office

staff, and the Budget Secretary to urge them to increase the fee schedule rates by $541 million. Nancy and the government affairs team at TPA have successfully worked with families who bravely told their personal stories to journalists at 22 media outlets across Pennsylvania. Media coverage at the PA Capital-Star, WITF, WESA, Spotlight, the Editorial Board of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, and the Editorial Board of the Harrisburg Patriot-News have highlighted the dire needs of the ID/A system.

Media partners in communities across the Commonwealth highlighted the plight of families and DSPs in their news coverage.
