It has been a wonderful 37 years. We have grown, and expanded time and again. Programs and people have been added and space and buildings have been secured. The success and stellar reputation of the organization in the community is obvious. What perhaps is not as obvious is the difficulties the last few years of reduction in state and school district funding has presented. Adjustments have been made in staff benefits, hours worked and positions assigned. The staff are dedicated, compassionate, and exemplary leaders--the true strength of the organization. This has been true for as many years as the organization has been in existence. We feel very blessed to have employees who have committed their working lives to making a better world for men and women with disabilities, despite the difficulties funding cuts present. We realize that we must continue to let the legislature know that any additional cuts to state support could be devastating. Many years ago the state committed to providing ongoing services to men and women with developmental disabilities. It is imperative that this not change. Luckily, Vocational Visions has support from people like you. Much of the organization’s success is made possible by the generous support given by family members, community friends, employers, volunteers and donors. Each of you has contributed a significant component necessary for developing a strong organization. Thank you so much for all you have done.

Our Programs Day Training Activity Program This program is provided in our facility and in the community, and offers participation in leisure activities, recreation and instruction in daily living skills. Individual staff ratios assure supervision and optimum community integration. A weekly theme in the classroom offers many opportunities for cooking, art, music and socialization. Opportunities are also available for people with ongoing medical conditions requiring constant care and supervision. Work Activity Program This work training program provides assessment, vocational training and counseling to over 100 participants. It can be a stepping-stone to many opportunities for future employment in the community. Businesses bring jobs to us such as assembling, collating, and mailings. These jobs provide a paycheck for our workers and an opportunity to develop and use new skills. Adult Development Program The ADP program is perfect for those individuals whose needs are best served by being in the community 100% of the day. Close supervision with a 1:4 staff to participant ratio offers optimum integration and participation. Activities include supported work, mobility training, and participation in community-sponsored programs, events and classes. Emeritus Program This fine arts program is perfect for those persons who choose not to be in a work setting or whose skill levels are regressing due to illness or age. It provides a daily curriculum filled with stimulation activities designed to involve each participant. Many activities are provided in the community. Supported Employment Program Supported Employment offers the individual an opportunity to work in either a group setting at a business with a Vocational Visions job coach providing training, supervision, encouragement, and company satisfaction or to work independently with less supervision, but continued support from Vocational Visions. A full time Job Developer works with each person to determine interest and capability and develops jobs in the community based on this information. Businesses benefit by having competent, dependable, well–trained employees. Health Related Services This is an individualized program for adults with developmental disabilities who also have restricted medical conditions. The staff includes a licensed nurse and personal attendants to meet all needs for personal growth and development as well as nursing intervention. Site-based training includes socializations skills, sensory stimulation, communications skills, self-care and leisure. The program is also designed to include community integration, which enhances community interaction and awareness, purchasing skills, and decision making in planned community outings. The goal of the program is to maximize the opportunity for peer interaction and community integration. Direct Placement This program is open to Department of Rehabilitation participant who are on a vocational track. The purpose of this program is to assist individuals with disabilities (but not necessarily people who have a developmental disability) who require job placement services to find and maintain competitive employment. These individuals may have learning disabilities, psychiatric disabilities, orthopedic disabilities, acquired brain injuries, or may be blind or visually impaired as well. Services provided are based upon each individual’s strengths, abilities, work experience and career preference. Clubhouse Program The Clubhouse Program is the only south Orange County clubhouse for adults with developmental disabilities to provide recreation, socialization, and educational support in an atmosphere that encourages self-determination; the members vote on all aspects of running this program.
