SUMMARY OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN 2018: "RT PRIVATIZED AND SEPARATED FROM THE MIAMI COUNTY BOARD OF DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES. THE CENTER OF MEDICAID GAVE ALL OHIO PROVIDERS LIKE RT UNTIL 2024 TO SEPARATE FROM THEIR LOCAL COUNTY BOARD. WE EFFECTIVELY STEPPED OUT ON OUR OWN AS AN OPERATING 501(C)(3) EFFECTIVE 1/1/18. WITH THIS, RT HAS CREATED OUR OWN POLICIES AND PROCEDURES TO GUIDE OUR ORGANIZATION. "OUR EXISTENCE/WHO ARE WE? ' MISSION & CORE VALUES AND STRATEGIC PLANNING RT WAS GOING THROUGH AN IDENTITY CRISIS WHEN WE PRIVATIZED. WE WERE KNOWN FOR EMPLOYMENT AND A SHELTERED WORKSHOP BUT RT ALSO PROVIDES TRANSPORTATION, ADS AND HAS ODOT CONTRACTS. WE CHANGED OUR LOGO, UPDATED OUR MISSION STATEMENT AND PUT TOGETHER SEVEN (7) CORE VALUES. OUR NEW MISSION: HELPING PEOPLE ACHIEVE PERSONAL SUCCESS BY DEVELOPING SKILLS TO CONFIDENTLY WORK, INTERACT AND THRIVE IN THE COMMUNITY DURING THIS TIME, WE ALSO STARTED PUTTING TOGETHER OUR STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE FUTURE OF RT. "VOCATIONAL HABILITATION WITHIN A SHELTERED PRODUCTION FACILITY SETTING RT BEGAN TO EVALUATE OUR BUSINESS AND SERVICE STRUCTURE SPECIFICALLY REGARDING THE DELIVERY OF VOCATIONAL HABILITATION WITHIN A PRODUCTION FACILITY SETTING. UPON REVIEW OF DOL, DODD AND CMS REGULATIONS, SEVERAL CHANGES WERE REQUIRED. WE BEGAN BY REVIEWING VOCATIONAL HABILITATION AND ADJUSTING THE SERVICES TO BE IN LINE WITH DODD RULE. THIS PHASE INCLUDED TOWN HALL MEETINGS TO SHARE CHANGES WITH FAMILIES, DISCUSSION WITH INDIVIDUALS TO DETERMINE WHAT SERVICE WAS BEST FOR THEM, MEETING WITH THE COUNTY BOARD TO SHARE THE CHANGES AND CONTINUING EDUCATION OF THE STAFF WHO PROVIDE THIS SERVICE. WE THEN DETERMINED THAT IN ORDER TO KEEP THE PRODUCTION ELEMENT OF RT, IT WOULD NEED TO BE A STAND-ALONE DEPARTMENT. IT WAS ADDED TO THE TABLE OF ORGANIZATION WITH NEW POSITIONS BEING CREATED TO SUPPORT THAT DEPARTMENT. INDIVIDUALS WHO HAD WORKED PRODUCTION COULD AND DID APPLY TO INTERVIEW FOR THE 12 PRODUCTION SPECIALIST POSITIONS. THESE POSITIONS START AT MINIMUM WAGE, ARE CONSIDERED RT EMPLOYEES AND NO MEDICAID SERVICES ARE BILLED FOR THEM DURING THEIR WORK DAY, UNLESS IES IS NEEDED. WITH THAT PHASE COMPLETE, RT RETURNED THE 14C CERTIFICATE ON NOVEMBER 1, 2018. "ADULT DAY SERVICES NEEDING TO FOCUS ON MEANINGFUL ACTIVITIES AND COMMUNITY INCLUSION COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT COORDINATORS HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD TO HELP EACH PERSON AND THEIR TEAM DETERMINE THE BEST SERVICES TO HELP THEM ACHIEVE THEIR OUTCOMES. THIS HAS LEAD PEOPLE TO IDENTIFY MANY NEW INTERESTS AND ABILITIES, AND IT'S BEEN EXCITING TO WATCH THAT PROCESS. MOST OF THE CHANGES WE HAVE MADE ARE DRIVEN BY OUR DESIRE TO BE MORE ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY. WE DON'T WANT TO SIMPLY BE IN THE COMMUNITY, WE WANT TO HELP PEOPLE ENGAGE IN IT IN WAYS THAT ARE MEANINGFUL TO THEM. OUR COMMUNITY PRESENCE IS CENTERED AROUND EACH PERSON'S UNIQUE SKILLS, INTERESTS AND ABILITIES. THIS REMAINS OUR FOCUS AS WE HELP EACH PERSON LIVE THEIR BEST LIFE. EACH PERSON MAKES THE CHOICE TO WORK TOWARDS COMMUNITY EMPLOYMENT, SOCIALIZATION, INDEPENDENT LIVING SKILLS OR SOMETHING ELSE- THE OPPORTUNITIES YOU SEEK ARE DETERMINED BY YOU. THE FOSS WAY LOCATION HAD A COMPLETE MAKEOVER TO SHIFT FROM PRIMARILY A PRODUCTION FACILITY TO A HUB FOR SERVICES OF ALL TYPES. THE BACK OF THE BUILDING WAS PAINTED, CARPETED AND HAS ALL NEW FURNITURE. THERE IS A WALL SEPARATING THE PRODUCTION SPACE WHICH WILL REMAIN UP FRONT. WE ARE ALSO UTILIZING FORMER OFFICE SPACE IN NEW WAYS. TWO SENSORY ROOMS, THREE COMPUTER/TRAINING AREAS, A COFFEE CAFE AND A MULTIPURPOSE ROOM ARE ALL PART OF THE REMODEL "TRANSPORTATION STIGMA WITH BUSES AND LOGOS EFFECTIVE 12/17, RT STOPPED PUTTING OUR LOGO ON NEW COMPANY VEHICLES. SINCE 12/17, RT HAS ACQUIRED A FORD FOCUS, FORD FLEX, AND THREE (3) DODGE CARAVANS. A PROPOSAL TO PHASE OUT THE BUSES WOULD BE PUT TOGETHER BY THE TRANSPORTATION LOGISTICS SUPERVISOR AT A LATER DATE. "ALL SERVICES JOB TITLES AND TABLE OF ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE RT'S ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE CHANGED TREMENDOUSLY TO SUPPORT OUR NEW MISSION AND VISION. THE EMPLOYMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT, LED BY THE EMPLOYMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR, WITH SUPPORT FROM AN EMPLOYMENT COORDINATOR, EMPLOYS SEVEN (7) EMPLOYMENT SPECIALISTS WHO PROVIDE INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYMENT SUPPORT AND CAREER PLANNING SERVICES AS WELL AS SERVICES THROUGH OOD. EMPLOYMENT SERVICES SUPPORTS INDIVIDUALS IN CURRENT EMPLOYMENT AND ASSISTS THEM IN OBTAINING EMPLOYMENT. THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS DIRECTOR MANAGES THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT DEPARTMENT (ADS), CAREER DISCOVERY DEPARTMENT (VH/GES) AND TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT (NMT). "WITHIN COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, THREE (3) COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT COORDINATORS PROVIDE OVERSIGHT TO TWENTY-TWO (22) COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SPECIALISTS WHO PROVIDE ADS SERVICES. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SPECIALISTS RECEIVE ONGOING TRAINING ON CREATIVE WAYS TO PROVIDE MORE COMMUNITY-BASED PERSON CENTERED SUPPORTS. "WITHIN CAREER DISCOVERY, THE PRODUCTION & CAREER DISCOVERY COORDINATOR PROVIDES OVERSIGHT TO THE FIVE (5) CAREER DISCOVERY SPECIALISTS PROVIDING VH AND GES SERVICES. CAREER DISCOVERY SPECIALISTS HAVE SPECIALIZED FOCUS FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS EXPRESSING INTEREST IN WORK; THESE STAFF RECEIVE ADDITIONAL TRAINING TO HELP INDIVIDUALS WITHIN VOCATIONAL HABILITATION AND GROUP EMPLOYMENT SUPPORT. "WITHIN THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT, THE TRANSPORTATION LOGISTICS SUPERVISOR COORDINATES NMT ROUTES FOR OVER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY (150) INDIVIDUALS, INCLUDING THOSE WITH COMMUNITY EMPLOYMENT AND CONTRACTS TO TRANSPORT INDIVIDUALS TO OTHER SERVICES. THIS POSITION ALSO OVERSEES THE SEVENTEEN (17) EMPLOYEES IN TRANSPORTATION. THE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES SPECIALIST COORDINATES SERVICES TO PEOPLE RECEIVING NMT SERVICES THROUGH THE COUNTY BOARD. RT'S NEW ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE SUPPORTS THE SHIFT FROM FACILITY-BASED SERVICES TO MORE COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES AS WELL AS USES INNOVATIVE MEANS TO CONNECT INDIVIDUALS WITH EMPLOYMENT EXPLORATION OPPORTUNITIES. "DODD RULE REGARDING SERVICE DELIVERY, HIRING AND TRAINING REQUIREMENTS RIGHT BEFORE THE TRANSITION TO PRIVATIZATION WE BEGAN WORKING ON A NEW HIRE TRAINING PACKET WITH A MENTORING PROGRAM. THIS CONSISTED OF THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT & OPERATIONS DIRECTOR, HR DIRECTOR, AND CEO IN TRAINING. WE REVIEWED DODD RULE AND CARF REQUIREMENTS WHILE PUTTING TOGETHER THE FORM AND TRAINING MATERIAL. THIS NEW TRAINING DOCUMENT WENT LIVE 1/1/18 WITH MONTHLY MENTOR MEETINGS IN 2018. MEETINGS WERE CHANGED TO QUARTERLY IN 2019 WITH MENTORS. OUR HR DIRECTOR HAS CLEANED UP OUR PROCESSES REGARDING NEW HIRES AND EMPLOYEE REQUIREMENTS TO INSURE COMPLIANCE IS MET. NOT ONLY DOES SHE HAVE A FORMAL DOCUMENT UTILIZED TO CHECK OFF REQUIREMENTS, BUT EMPLOYEES, SUPERVISORS, DIRECTORS AND CEO RECEIVE MONTHLY EMAIL REMINDERS OF TRAININGS OR DOCUMENTS THAT WILL EXPIRE. RT IMPLEMENTED AN INTERNAL PEER REVIEW PROCESS IN 2018 THAT CONSISTS OF TWO TEAMS. EACH TEAM HAS A TEAM LEAD (DIRECTOR) AND 3-4 SUPERVISORS. BOTH TEAMS COMPLETE FOUR (4) DEPARTMENTAL REVIEWS EACH YEAR CONSISTING OF TRANSPORTATION, ADS, VH/GES AND IES. "EMPLOYMENT SERVICES FUN FACTS WE WORKED WITH 44 EMPLOYERS IN 2018.
