Working Together WITH OUR COMMUNITIES At ODC, we believe that when we work together, we achieve a higher level of success, as individuals and as an organization. The focus of ODC’s 2018 Annual Report is “working together”, and it highlights just some of the great successes that are a result of many people working together. ODC’s dedicated staff work together with the individuals we serve, to identify and create opportunities, and to support each person in achieving their work and life goals. ODC offers a variety of services that work together to move people toward their goals. Whether the person’s goal is community employment, increased independence, connections in the community, improved mental health, or “all of the above”, we tailor our services to address each person’s unique goals and support needs. Most importantly, we work together with our communities. Without our community partners, who offer opportunities for employment, training, exploring, learning and participating, none of the successes we see would be possible.

PAM ROSS

We work together with area schools, to ensure that when students with disabilities graduate, they are ready to take that next step in life. We work together with businesses and organizations that offer opportunities for individuals to succeed in their dream job or give back to their communities through volunteering. We work together with our funding sources, donors and friends, to provide ODC participants with opportunity and support. We hope you enjoy reading the 2018 ODC Annual Report. Working together with you – as an employer, funding source, customer, volunteer, donor or friend – we will truly change lives.

Mental Health Services WORKING TOGETHER... TOWARD HEALTH AND WELL-BEING • By offering one-to-one support for adults, adolescents and children recovering from mental health and/or substance abuse disorders. • By helping individuals overcome or manage their disease and symptoms, and make informed, healthy choices that support their physical and mental well-being.

When Tonya Callahan speaks with an individual seeking ODC’s Mental Health Services, she is very clear... you determine your recovery plans and goals while we provide you with support in achieving those goals. “We provide the support that can help them live the life they want,” said Tonya, ODC’s Mental Health Services Director. ODC began providing mental health services in December 2018, as the counties served by ODC were searching to find providers to serve their waiting list of consumers. ODC staff work in coordination

case managers. Staff provide support for the individual’s meaningful daily activities – work, school, volunteering, recreation, and caring for home and family – while helping to connect them to relationships and social networks that provide support, friendship and love. “First and foremost,” said Tonya, “we provide hope. “Our services are strengthbased, so we look at an individual’s strengths to help them really find their place in the community and have a reason to be part of things.” Drew is one of Tonya’s consumers. He currently lives with his parents but has a goal of increased independence. “I wanted to stop isolating myself at home and doing nothing,” said Drew. “I needed to get out into the community and find out what resources there are out there.” So Tonya and Drew meet regularly. They explore options for housing and transportation, learn how to budget, shop for appliances... and even practice cooking.

“I need to learn how to cook for myself,” said Drew, “so when I do move out on my own, I can make the food I eat.” ODC Employment Services staff also worked with Drew to help find him a job – he is now working at Manilla Gorilla in Wisconsin Rapids. “We are helping Drew to overcome and manage his disease and symptoms,” said Tonya, “and to make informed, healthy choices. He is so motivated... I don’t think he will be living with his parents for long!” “You have to think ahead of time about what you want to make, then get a recipe,” said Drew. “I hope I like cooking... I just don’t want to overcook this chicken!”

2018 ANNUAL REPORT

WORKING TOGETHER

Project SEARCH WORKING TOGETHER... TO BUILD SKILLS • By offering people opportunities to spend their last year of high school training at a host business site. • By providing 3 -10 week internships in real jobs at the host business, and classroom instruction focused on job readiness. • By providing support in finding a community job.

When you talk about Project SEARCH with those who have experienced it, you hear the word “growth”... usually many, many times. “They have all grown so much, in so many different ways.” Those are the words of Katie Ayello, Project SEARCH program instructor at Aspirus Wausau Hospital, about her very first class of eight interns. “A lot of their growth comes not only from Project SEARCH staff or the hospital staff but from each other. They learn from each other, and are constantly giving each other feedback.” Sometimes, Katie said, when the interns come back to the classroom after their daily internship rotations throughout the hospital, she doesn’t have any educational work planned. She just sits and listens. “They talk about their days and remind each other of upcoming plans or tasks,” said Katie. “They keep each other on track… and when this school year began, they hardly knew each other.” “They’re like a family now, for sure.”

One of those family members is Aaron, who came from D.C. Everest High School to become part of the 2018-2019 Wausau Project SEARCH class. Aaron is one intern Katie points to as a prime example of the growth experienced by Project SEARCH interns. “Aaron has grown so much over the past months,” she said. “He has such a great personality, but we really struggled in the beginning with what kind of job was going to be the best fit. Some of his first hospital rotations didn’t work out.” But now, she said, he’s a different guy. “He has completely matured,” said Katie. “He has a really good sense of humor that he now uses very professionally in the work setting. He gets along very well with coworkers. He is really, really focused and proud of the work that he’s doing.” Aaron himself attributes some of that change to his coworkers in the hospital’s food service department, where he is completing his final Project SEARCH internship. “Part of the reason is the positive work environment,” said Aaron. “I really

OPPORTUNITY DEVELOPMENT CENTERS, INC.

appreciate knowing when I’m doing a good job. When I’m not doing a good job, I would like someone to tell me, and suggest ways that I could improve.” According to Aaron, it’s easier for him to come to work every day, knowing that he’s doing a good job because his coworkers tell him so. “This department has done a really good job of giving him feedback, both positive and constructive,” said Katie, “and Aaron does a really great job being positive about constructive feedback and doing what he can to change.” The goal of Project SEARCH staff is to assist interns in finding employment before they graduate from the program. Most interns are hired by businesses outside of program’s the host business, but sometimes the host business is so impressed with an intern that they don’t want to let that individual get away.

Some other of Aaron’s classmates are set to be hired by their hospital departments as well. Katie believes that these individuals will be good leaders and role models for next year’s interns rotating through those departments. “If Aaron is hired in food service,” she said with a wink, “ODC might not even need to place a job coach in that department.” Left: “I have been thinking about my future a lot,” said Aaron. “I will have a lot of work experience when Project SEARCH is over, and I’ve learned so much from all of my internships.” Right: “We got so lucky with this first Project SEARCH class,” said Project SEARCH instructor Katie Ayello of interns like Nick. “They are so easy-going and willing to try everything. You tell them to present in front of 15 people and they’re like, ‘got it!’”

“I don’t think that, in the beginning, he would have been ready to be hired at the hospital, even by the food service department,” she said. “But now… if he submits a resume and application, there is a very, very good chance he will be hired here.”

out of 82 interns were employed in the community upon completion of the program in Wisconsin Rapids & Marshfield. Two individuals pursued further education at the college level.

ODC now partners in four Project SEARCH programs at the following host businesses: Marshfield Clinic Health Systems – since 2011; Aspirus Riverview Hospital – since 2015; Aspirus Wausau Hospital – since 2018; Sentry Insurance – 2019

WORKING TOGETHER... WITH EMPLOYERS • To help people get and keep jobs that match their interests, strengths and needs. • To provide on-the-job training and support as people gain independence on the job.

DAVID Charlie Nelson and Mark Gloede were looking for someone to clean at C&S Sales, the Wisconsin Rapids business they’ve owned for five years. But good employees are hard to find... and then they thought about ODC. Mark’s wife has been heavily involved with Special Olympics in the La Crosse area, and Mark serves as a legal guardian for a Special Olympic athlete. They have been involved in the lives of people with disabilities for many years and, says Charlie, he’s learned a lot from them. “People with disabilities just want to be part of the team,” he said. “When they’re doing well, we say, ‘Really good job!’

HE’S FILLING A VOID, A REAL NEED FOR US, AND HE’S DOING A GOOD JOB THAT HAS VALUE. When it’s not so good, we say, ‘You need to do better.’ No special rules – we don’t believe in that for anyone.” So when ODC suggested David as a candidate that might

fit the bill, the partners were eager to give it a try. In August 2018, David was hired. “We all need some “win-win” moments in life, and this is definitely one,” said Charlie. “We needed someone to do what David is doing. He’s filling a void, a real need for us, and he’s doing a good job that has value.” David had worked very hard to ready himself for community employment. For 12 years, he participated in ODC’s center-based training program, taking pride in doing a good job no matter what the task. While at the center, he also participated in Workplace Readiness classes to learn the soft skills that are so important in the workplace – attitude, communication, teamwork, professionalism and the like. He participated in community-based training as well, working with his peers in small “work crew” groups at local business, giving him the opportunity to try community employment in a safe, supported setting. It all paid off when he was offered a dream job at C&S Sales. “It’s been a great relationship,” said Charlie, “and he fits in so well. We hope that he feels like he has a little home for himself, a place that gives him a sense of purpose.” Left: Ask David what it’s like to be working 30 hours per week, and you’ll hear, “It’s really cool!”

EVERY PERSON WITH A DISABILITY

SHOULD BE GIVEN THE SAME OPPORTUNITY THAT BRITTANY WAS GIVEN.

BRITTANY In the words of Brittany, Project SEARCH graduate and Marshfield Medical Center employee: “I started my internships at Marshfield Medical Center with Project SEARCH, and was then hired by Environmental Services in the pediatric department at the hospital. I have been working for almost two years and really enjoy what I do. I am much more outgoing now, and very happy that I have a job. Before coming to Project SEARCH and getting my current job, I was very shy around people. I am now able to eat lunch with my friends at the hospital; I also go to movies and restaurants with some of the staff. I feel I am much more independent, outgoing and mature.” In the words of Andrea Whitrock, Assistant Manager, Environmental Services, Marshfield Medical Center: “For the past five years, I have worked with many Project SEARCH interns. During that time, we have been lucky

Every person with a disability should be given the same opportunity that Brittany was given. As a parent, our reward is our child’s success. We only want the best for our children. It took a team effort to make this all possible, and I wouldn’t change a minute of it. I has been and continues to be a wonderful journey!”

Brittany is an important member of our team, and her abilities and contributions are an important part of the hospital’s continued success.”

The best way to grow as a person is to continue to meet new people and learn from those around you, and Brittany has done just that. She has become confident in communicating with others including staff in our department and nurses in the pediatric unit. She has made true connections with others and you can see it in the way they support each other, not just in the workplace but personally as well.

Luke’s colleagues at Applebee’s helped him celebrate his birthday!

Luke wanted to be more independent in his life outside of work as well, so he began participating in CommunityConnect where he is learning to be independent yet safe in the community and learning to make healthy choices.

Ongoing Luke is still active with the friends he made in CommunityConnect, and they have learned to plan outings and activities independently. He participates in CommunityConnect, volunteering at Hope Lodge in Marshfield. He is still working on his independent problem-solving skills and ability to make healthy decisions.

Transition Services WORKING TOGETHER... WITH STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND FAMILIES • By partnering with schools to provide students as young as age 14 with work-readiness classroom training and real-world work experiences. • By preparing students to be ready for community employment right after graduation.

150

students in Adams, Clark, Lincoln, Portage, Marathon, Taylor and Wood counties participated in ODC’s school-to-work transition services in 2018.

In the words of MaDonna Enkers, Special Education Teacher Mentor, Marathon County Special Education: “We’re seeing such positive changes in societal norms, but it is taking some time for school staffing to ‘catch up’ with our focus on getting young adults with disabilities integrated into the community. We are alleviating that staffing gap by collaborating with ODC. ODC provides transition services so that students can do work-based learning in the community, an extension of the work-based learning already happening in the classroom.

I couldn’t be more impressed with the creative, out-of-the box-thinking of ODC staff. ODC job developers and job coaches have the expertise, and they’re helping us to develop our own expertise in providing quality work-based learning experiences. It’s our job as educators to prepare our kids to be college and career-ready, and to make that transition as smooth and seamless as possible. That’s what ODC is helping us to do.” In the words of Jessica Wisocky, Special Education Teacher, Abbottsford High School: “As a teacher, I can only be in so many places at once. ODC staff are able to be in the community developing work experiences for students, which makes my job easier. They’re helping to ‘connect the dots’ – all of us working together to help our students become independent.”

Therapeutic Recreation Day Services WORKING TOGETHER... TO INCREASE INDEPENDENCE • With adult life skill-building activities that improve interpersonal and social skills, increase self-confidence and self-advocacy, and enhance safety awareness. • With engaging activities involving individuals’ areas of interest including travel and recreation, cooking, money management, physical fitness and wellness, art and music, and more!

If you’ve ever been to Trigs in Stevens Point, you’ve probably seen Chad. For 14 years, Chad has been a smiling face and a helping hand for customers at that business. But life is about more than work. That’s why many individuals who are supported by ODC in community employment also participate in Day Services. The Day Services program helps Chad to fill his “outside of work” life with people and activities that interest, educate and entertain him. Anything sports… that’s what Chad is about. So when he joins his friends during the Day Services men’s group on Tuesdays and Thursdays, activities like basketball, disc golf or bowling are often involved. Right after lunch, that is, as each week the group chooses a local restaurant where they’ll eat and enjoy each other’s company. Always willing to help, Chad also comes to Day Services each morning, before he begins his shift at Trigs, to help staff set up the day’s activities for other participants.

“Day Services is an important complement to ODC’s other services,” said Crystal Leary, ODC Day Services Coordinator in Stevens Point. “All of our activities support people in achieving their highest level of independence in both their work and personal lives.” “Many individuals with disabilities have fewer social opportunities,” said Crystal. “Day Services helps them to “round out” their lives, develop their strengths, practice their skills, learn something new and try new activities, all while building their social skills and confidence.” Top: If Chad sees something that needs doing, he does it… even the Day Services dishes. Bottom: Chad celebrated his birthday by bowling with friends and ODC staff.
