TRAINING AND COACHING GRANT
Hi-Hope received a three-year grant from the Goizueta Foundation to train and coach staff to implement person-centered principles when supporting individuals with developmental disabilities. Additionally, funding is included for the availability of our occupational therapy, speech/language therapy, nutrition, behavioral health, and assistive technology specialists to continue assessments and protocol training of staff. This funding is critical to prepare our staff to meet the needs of our individuals as they age and often become more medically fragile.
FY 2011 GOALS
- Person-centered, quality, timely services are available – annual initiatives center on reviewing and modifying our current service delivery to ensure a “person-centered” focus and ensuring that feedback from key stakeholders is utilized to improve services.
- Cost effective services are available – activities include the implementation of an electronic timekeeping system and department restructuring to ensure high cost efficiency.
- All staff receives the support needed to increase and improve the availability of person-centered supports – implementation of the Goizueta Foundation grant which supports orientation training, person-centered thinking certification, and a coaching structure for supervisors.
- Sufficient funding support is available for identified services – focus is on the implementation of a recent development audit to ensure that Hi-Hope is poised to support a variety of fundraising efforts.
- Key investments are made to ensure long term, efficient operations – investments are being made in the areas of development, communication and strategic planning.
