Overview

Mission

The cura personalis project strives to provide a range of pre-vocational and vocational experiences to individuals with developmental disabilities. Through workshops, field experiences and daily work experiences, cpp provides training, mentoring and supervision to support individualized vocational, social and functional life skills necessary for individuals to reach their potential during their adult lives. Participants learn the term teamwork through completing chores and special projects together that require multiple people. Participants are assigned tasks intentionally that will require them to utilize their problem solving and teamwork skills. Participants are encouraged to solicit assistance from their co-workers to figure out how to complete a task. We develop a participant's independence by providing participants with structure and daily routines so they are able to master their daily chores and complete them with minimum assistance.

What it reported doing in 2024

Adult participants increased and provided workshop experiences for multiple students. Conducted multiple trials for potential new adult clients. Held multiple information sessions with families to explain how the transition process from school to adult services works and the funding options such as traditional vs self-direction. Due to the increasing demand for our services we started requiring new participants to commit to attending at least 3 times a week.
