A YEAR OF POSSIBILITIES

This year's Annual Report celebrates how we've lived our values over the past 12 months despite the challenges of a global pandemic. Our organization has not only survived, we have thrived because each and every one of our employees and supporters have been all-in on serving our clients, gone WAY beyond themselves to live and work in new ways, and continued to invest in building up our community. It showed in the way the Employment Services team supported participants who were frontline workers or had been furloughed. It showed in the way the Janitorial team took pride in keeping workplaces safe and sanitary. It showed in the way the Pediatric Therapy team pivoted to providing therapy not only in-person, but also through telehealth. It showed in the Early Learning staff Dena Strong, President & CEO who were in the building every day to provide consistent and loving care to the children who filled our classrooms. And it showed in the Corporate team and generous grantors and donors who made sure our programs had the infrastructure and funding they needed to continue operating through the changing circumstances. Together we served over 1,300 children and families in Clark County. A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone!

EARLY LEARNING

Our Early Learning program provides quality preschool for children ages one to five years old of all abilities and income levels. Innovative offers the Early Childhood Education Assistance Program (ECEAP) in five of our eight classrooms. ECEAP supports eligible families through free preschool and other support services. We are one of few ECEAP providers in Clark County that is open year-round, making it possible for families to maintain their regular work schedules when schools are closed. Our Family Support Specialists help families get connected with other much-needed resources in .the community such as housing, food assistance, and financial services. This year, more than ever, families found support at Innovative when they needed it most. Our doors remained open for care all year through, providing early childhood education both in-person and in virtual classrooms to 195 children. Grant funding enabled us to provide additional support to families through food, financial, and activity supplies. We spent as much time outside as possible this year as well. In April, the outdoor play area received an upgrade of a turf field, and in June the Assistance League of Southwest Washington planted their annual garden for our students to cultivate and enjoy.

These delays may include challenges such as learning to crawl or walk, using hands to play, producing speech or coordinating sucking or chewing. We provide pediatric therapy to children in their most critical time of development and seek to empower them to reach their maximum potential. We welcome families from any geographic location for outpatient and specialty services. We are a designated Neurodevelopmental Center in Washington State.

EMPLOYMENT SERVICES Our Employment Services program has been a leading provider for employment services in Clark County for over 40 years. Our dedicated staff of Job Developers and Employment Specialists assist individuals in overcoming disability-related employment barriers. Our services are centered around matching each job seeker’s individual skills and abilities with employers’ business needs. We do this through career planning, job development, and ongoing employment support. A large focus this year was helping clients retain or regain employment as COVID impacted their employers. We are proud to share that we placed five clients in new positions and 85% of our employed participants have retained their employment for two or more years. Additionally, we provide Community Inclusion to helps individuals increase their socialization and communication skills, develop their work ethic and employment skills, as well as learn appropriate employment etiquette and attire through involvement in integrated community activities such as volunteering, club participation, and taking classes.
