| New Day Products & Resources offers four different types
of services for persons with disabilities. These services are called
Employment Planning, Community Employment, Organizational Employment, and
Developmental Disabilities. |
Employment Planning Services
|
| The purpose of this
service is to provide information needed to make vocational
decisions. The service uses in-house situational assessments,
community-based tryouts, developed job placements and standardized
testing as a means of gathering information about job options and
opportunities. The programs vary in length from two days to four
weeks. After the completion of the service a report is written and
shared. Information regarding vocational strengths and needs are
offered to provide a strong basis from which to make vocational
choices. |
Community Employment Services
|
| This service provides
businesses with competent workers. Supported employment services
include a careful matching of worker abilities to job
requirements, specialized training provided by a job coach on the
work site, and follow-up services for as long as the worker is
employed at the competitive work site. The job coach is available
to return to the job site at any time after the person has become
independent on the job. This return could be for skill
enhancement, training on a new job, improvement in socialization,
or any other work-related need. |
Organizational Employment Services
|
| This in-house program is
designed to provide disabled persons with a variety of subcontract
and prime manufacturing work. This may include, but is not limited
to, custom wood containers, pallet repair, survey stake
manufacturing, lath manufacturing, bulk mailing operations, trophy
assembly, engraving, screen printing, laundry, and custodial
maintenance. To receive services, sponsorship must
be in place. |
Developmental Disabilities Services
|
| The purpose of this
program is to teach and maintain life skills to the degree where
they are functional for you. To accomplish this goal most of the
skills training will occur at the consumer's home or in the
community. Center based groups help the consumer learn how to
cook, and teach the consumer social skills. Each consumer enrolled
in this program will help develop an individual written plan based
on his/her own needs, goals, preferences, and interests. Once a
program is developed, the consumer is placed in as normal a
situation as possible and the least restrictive alternative will
be used. |
Admissions Criteria
|
| To enroll in a New Day
Products & Resources program, the consumer must be 16 years of age or older, have a
disability, not pose a danger to himself or others, have needs
that can be met at New Day Products & Resources, be able to be unsupervised for periods
of 15 to 30 minutes, and have fee sponsorship. This
assistance is generally provided by the Idaho Department of Health
and Welfare, the Idaho Division of Vocational Rehabilitation and
local School Districts. A person may also sponsor themselves in a
program at New Day Products & Resources. |
Policy for Reentry
|
| Once a consumer leaves New
Day Products & Resources's services, a termination summary is written and a closed
file is created. This file is maintained for at least five years.
If the consumer needs or desires to receive services again, the
file is reopened and a determination is made as to the ability of
New Day Products & Resources to offer those services. As for all of
New Day Products & Resources service, agency
sponsorship is needed to reenter the programs at New Day Products
& Resources. |
