ODC’s vision is “communities strengthened and enriched by the abilities and contributions of all members.” Progress toward community inclusion and employment is part of each individual’s work and life goals.

In 2013, 594 program participants benefitted from a variety of services including employment training, job acquisition and retention and community connections.

MOVEMENT toward community employment resulted in 217 work experiences, hires or supported job retentions.

MOVEMENT to community was possible with the jobs provided by 149 community employers. Integrated supported employment ended the year with 119 individuals employed or in process.

The majority, 64 of 101 new referrals to ODC went directly into community employment services.

For 16 individuals in agency based training programs, the MOVEMENT to community included the addition of services geared toward assessing career interests and developing jobs in the community including referral to DVR.

In 2013, 18 center based individuals obtained jobs in the community.

Services income demonstrated MOVEMENT to community with a shift from 20% of ODC service income coming from community employment programs in 2009 to 30% in 2013.

MOVEMENT to community for 41 individuals meant “trying work out” in a small community work crew. Employers including WOW, Manilla Gorilla, Mariani, the Rafters, and Express Recycling called upon ODC to meet their seasonal and peak work times with competent, willing and capable workers. As a result, two hires occurred at Manilla Gorilla.

MOVEMENT to community for some means “giving back, inclusion and contribution” in the form of volunteering. Community life connections were made through volunteering for Home Delivered Meals, Adopt a Park, Rotary Winter Wonderland, Ronald McDonald House, Book Drive Delivery, McMillan marsh clean up, watering Main Street flowers, Bethel Flower Delivery, Salvation Army Bell Ringing, St. Vincent de Paul stocking, laundry for The Neighborhood Table, and the Humane Society.

Employers including WOW Logistics, Manilla Gorilla, Mariani Packing Company, the Rafters Baseball Team, and Express Recycling called upon ODC to meet their seasonal and peak work times with com-

petent, willing and capable workers. As a result, two hires occurred at Manilla Gorilla, one hire at WOW, and one hire at Express Recycling.

MOVEMENT toward community employment resulted in 217 work experiences, hires or supported job retentions.

MOVEMENT to community was made possible with the jobs provided by 149 community employers. Integrated supported employment ended the year with 119 individuals employed or in process.

The majority (63%) of new referrals to ODC went directly into community employment services.

For 16 individuals in agency based training programs, the MOVEMENT to community expanded with the addition of community employment services to their programming.

Eighteen center based individuals obtained jobs in the community.

Services income demonstrated MOVEMENT to community with a shift from 20% of ODC service income coming from community employment programs in 2009 to 30% in 2013.

ODC Employment Resources “up North” -

“There are many consumers that are unique and who I am very proud of. To

choose just one person to talk about was not easy, but I have chosen a man

named Daryl.

Daryl had never held a community based job. After setting up a meeting

with Church Mutual Insurance Company in Merrill, Dick Huseby agreed to

meet and discuss “unmet needs” within the company that Daryl could do.

A short time later, Daryl began his job in the distribution department

opening mail and putting together policies.

Now you’re thinking ‘What is so special about this?’ - First off, this is the

first person Church Mutual has hired through Supported Employment; but

more than that, let me tell you about Daryl.

Daryl was born with spina bifida. He has never walked a day in his life. He

needs daily help from his group home staff to help him get out of bed, get dressed, get his braces

on, and get strapped into his wheelchair just to begin his day. Each day, he takes the bus to work.

On the job, adaptations were created for him to perform the clerical parts of his job.

Daryl has been at his job now for 21/2 years and makes $10.30 per hour.

Daryl never knew what it would be like to have a job in the community. He states that he enjoys

each and every day that he works. He loves his job, is grateful for such a wonderful employer and

continues to tell me how much he appreciates the help the supported employment program gave

him to make a dream come true,”

Sandy Ewan, ODC Employment Resource Agent

“I think as we look at all employees, regardless of their situation, we see that work brings us dignity.

We become a functioning part of society. It is important for us as employers to give people a place

to begin,” Dick Huseby, Human Resources, Church Mutual

ODC’s 2013 PARTNERSHIP AWARD WINNER!

CITY OF MARSHFIELD— Without our partners, we would not be able

to fulfill our mission. We are proud to say that our great relationship with

the City of Marshfield has been established for many years and in a variety of

ways. ODC’s mission is to develop employment opportunities for individuals

in the community. The City of Marshfield not only partnered with ODC to

make this happen, they were creative, open to possibilities and to the skills

and abilities of individuals.

They discovered where the skills and abilities of individuals would work for

the needs they had within their departments. The first hire was Eric. He

paved the way and set the bar high, proving that ODC candidates are

talented, capable, and versatile. He was hired in the Finance Department and

has been working there for over a year. Second was Brett’s hire in the IT

Department. His attention to detail and focus impressed his co-workers

immediately. The third hire was Josh for a parking monitor position.

In addition to hiring people, the City of Marshfield employees have utilized

ODC’s Hidden Creek catering and lunch offerings. When ODC’s fund raiser,

“Locals on Stage” took place in Marshfield, Mayor Chris Meyer, Retired Fire

Chief Jim Schmidt, and Police chief Gary Jepsen were part of the Men’s Dance

Troupe.

2013 EMPLOYER OF THE YEAR AWARD— Kwik Trip “s” Seven Locations :

Wisconsin Rapids (West Grand Ave, 8th St S, Plover Rd); Marshfield; Wausau; Merrill; Plover

ODC’s Employer of the Year could not have been presented to a more deserving company. In just over

one year, Kwik Trip has provided employment for TEN individuals in SEVEN different store locations in

central Wisconsin.

Kwik Trip’s mission is “to service our customer and community more effectively than anyone else by treating our customers,

co-workers and suppliers as we, personally, would like to be treated and to make a difference in someone’s life”. Kwik Trip’s

mission and ODC’s mission blended perfectly to match individuals with a strong desire and ability to work with needs within

the Kwik Trip stores.

The retail helper program provides opportunities to empower and strengthen the independence of community members,

fulfills a legitimate business need in the stores while meeting its mission to make a difference in someone’s life.

April Hoesly, Store Leader at West Grand Avenue Kwik Trip Wisconsin Rapids states, “While

we know we have made a difference in someone’s life, we also recognize they are making a

more substantial difference in ours. We have an appreciation for one another while helping

our stores reach goals in cleanliness and guest services.”

George Haskins was ODC Wisconsin Rapids

Personal Achievement Winner. George had worked

in the food service industry for many years and

intermittently within ODC employment training

programs. A year ago George found his niche at

Manilla Gorilla and has since become a leader and key

employee there. He was hired by them to unload

trucks and price products, but his supervisor quickly

recognized his skills. Soon he began picking and

packing item for shipment as well as organizing the

warehouse.

Jeff Wichlacz was ODC Marshfield’s Personal

Achievement Award Winner for 2013. When Jeff

started at ODC, he struggled with anxiety and

depression, and had been unable to work for nine years.

Slowly he built up his confidence and in July 2010, Jeff

started at Security Health in Marshfield. Jeff excelled

and was offered a position in January of 2011.

2013 ANNUAL

AWARD WINNERS

Jere Johnson, 2013 John P Melsen Volunteer

Service Award Recipient. The definition of a

volunteer is someone who gives of their time and

talents without expectation of monetary payment or

compensation. Jere’s time spent in ODC’s Day

Service Program demonstrates that he is genuinely

interested in providing joy, attention, and value to the

people in day services. He gave of his time over the

years in other capacities as well, participating and

helping with fund raising events such as Locals on

Stage and the Packer Tailgate Tour.

“Louie” - ODC’s Pet Therapy Volunteer of the Year

Some might think, “he’s only a guinea pig or worse…

a rat….” but to many individuals in ODC’s Day

Service Program, Louie is unconditional affection,

acceptance, and friendship. People who can’t or are

reluctant to connect with others, found an easy,

unthreatening bond with a living creature.

ODC annually recognizes and celebrates the achievements of individuals, the employers who make

our mission possible, the partners that collaborate with ODC, and the volunteers who share their

talents and time with ODC.

The event has grown over the years primarily because the stories, the relationships, and successes

are so inspirational.

Personal Achievement Award winners and nominees, along with their guests who are often their

community employer, are recognized and celebrated for their achievements at their job and in the

community. Employers are able to see what an impact the opportunity to work has provided for

people and others are able hear how much employers appreciate the individuals they are privileged

to work with.

and gained invaluable work experience. Rotations were

made in the Birth Center and Pediatrics, Laundry, Four

Season’s dining, NICU, Environmental Services, Central

Sterilization Services, Progenitor Cell Transplant, Patient

Access, Subway and Supply Chain Procurement.

For this year’s students, the path to finding employment

after high school is much more promising with the

exposure and training they have received during this last

school year.

The 2013 Project Search graduates completed their rotations in the

departments at Ministry St. Joseph’s Hospital, well-prepared to begin adult

life and the world of work.

As in the previous year, the students amazed themselves and others with

the individual growth, maturity and preparedness to pursue careers in their

communities.

The 1st Project SEARCH - Project SEARCH was developed in 1996 by Nurse J. Erin Riehle, then the

Director of the Emergency Department at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.

As the flagship program, Cincinnati Children's Hospital provides technical assistance for replication and

overall leadership to Project SEARCH world-wide. Project SEARCH has grown from one original program to

150 programs across 42 states and 4 other countries. www.projectsearch.us

2013 Graduates

Where are they now?

Focusing on Ability meant being a partner in changing

young people’s lives through a program called Project

Search. Marshfield Public Schools, Ministry St. Joseph’s

Hospital, DVR, CCCW and ODC collaborated again this year

to provide and support internship opportunities for students

during their last year of school. As interns the students spend

part of their day receiving classroom instruction and the other

part as interns in different departments of the hospital.

Page 8: 2013 ODC Outcomes Management Report

ODC CommunityConnects Day Services—

Movement to Community meant the completion of the CommunityLink Grant

through CCCW…(& hopefully the start of those opportunities in the future). The

philosophy of the Grant was to facilitate normal and natural individualized

involvement in clubs, groups and “things to do” in the community.

Six Participants were linked to clubs or activities of interest in the community.

Intake and Referral processes were modified to include questions regarding

community connections, interests, preferences.

An Assessment Tool was developed to help gather more information about the

individual and how their lives could be enhanced through natural participation

and activity in their community.

Sensitivity training was provided to area businesses & individuals interacting

with grant participants. Individuals received social coaching regarding expected

behavior and interactions at the clubs and organizations they chose.

ODC CommunityConnects Day Services—

Community life connections were made through volunteering for Home Delivered Meals, Adopt A Park, Rotary Winter

Wonderland, Ronald McDonald House, Book Drive Delivery, McMillan Marsh clean up, watering Main Street flowers, Bethel

Flower Delivery, Salvation Army Bell Ring, St. Vincent de Paul stocking, laundry for the Neighborhood Table, and the

Southwood County Humane Society.

ODC CommunityConnects Day Services—

Community life connections meant inclusion and participation in community activities, clubs, and opportunities.

107 people participated in ODC’s

CommunityConnects Day Services

during 2013.

Most individuals are also involved in

center based employment training

programs and / or are supported at

their jobs in the community.

149 BUSINESSES EMPLOYED INDIVIDUALS THROUGH ODC EMPLOYMENT RESOURCES (NEW Employers in BOLD)

THANK YOU to the employers

who hired capable, motivated

employees through ODC’s

Employment Resources!

We couldn’t fulfill our mission

without you!

Page 14: 2013 ODC Outcomes Management Report

ODC Exceptional Needs Specialists, Job Coaches, Job/Employment/Kitchen Facilitators =

Support, Assistance, Encouragement, Learning, Participation, Success

EXCEPTIONAL NEEDS SPECIALISTS What if you couldn’t use the bathroom without

help; couldn’t eat without someone feeding you;

couldn’t get around without someone assisting

you; had diabetes but you were unable to

monitor your blood sugars; had epilepsy that

caused seizures that threatened your life; had

limited or no control of your hands, your legs….

How vulnerable would you feel? How important

would it be to have someone who is

compassionate, respectful, and concerned about

your feelings helping you?

All employees in services at ODC must

demonstrate that they have all of these

characteristics, especially our Exceptional Needs

Specialists. No one should ever feel

embarrassed, ashamed or self-conscious if there is a need that has to be addressed for them to participate in

any of ODC’s programs. No one should ever feel they can’t participate because of these needs. ODC’s ENS

staff demonstrate every day that each person is valued and deserves to be treated with the utmost of concern for their human dignity.

JOB TRAINERS

We believe that work is an integral part of adult life, whether you have a disability

or not. For individuals whose disabilities impact the ability to work independently,

ODC’s employment support staff are there when and where they are needed.

Whether it’s trying out a job, learning a job, figuring out a problem on the job or

making the improvements and growth necessary to keep a job, the support team is

there to “seamlessly” address any concerns that could affect the person’s ability to

keep their job.

Our goal is to be as invisible as possible, not only for the pride of the person but

for the benefit of the employer who needs to run their business without

interruptions or disruptions. LONG after the tasks of the jobs are learned,

employment resources provide those supports necessary to address concerns and

needs of the individual and the employer.

Job Trainers are a critical connection between the employee and employer to

ensure continued success on the job for the individual and the employer.

FACILITATORS—Job, Employment, Kitchen…

ODC’s job facilitators make it possible for people to learn, to achieve, to challenge themselves to “try”. Working individually with people,

devoting all of their attention to the person and the task provides the means to make goals become outcomes.

The facilitators provide the training, tools and experiences that promote and advance the community employment skills and interests of

individuals.

These positions are not funded through funding agencies. ODC contributors including WoodTrust Bell Foundation, distributions from

endowed funds from Incourage Community Foundation, and the ODC Endowment fund generously provide funding used to support the

wages for these valuable positions that benefit people, one person at a time.

ODC is committed to providing the BEST employment and life enhancing services possible.

Our long history, progressive programming and ability to change and adapt to the needs of the people we serve is evident in

the outcomes achieved in employment for individuals.

Hopefully people, no matter what their disability, will continue to benefit from quality, person-centered and self-determined

goal achievement and daily life.

Our society has come a long way from institutions. We strongly envision a community that recognizes the talents, skills,

abilities and dreams of individuals with disabilities.

It is our sincere hope that those dreams will be achievable for people and that we can contribute in whatever way possible

to make them become reality. Let’s keep thinking forward. Let’s keep thinking community. Let’s keep thinking quality of

life.
