The beginning of this is what I actually do. The rest are examples.
I intern in a 24 Hour HealthCare Group Home with six clients; the youngest clients are in their twenty’s.
I have two supervisors and there are at least 12 Staff Members on the payroll at all times. There is a constant turnover of staff.
I intern in a 24 Hour HealthCare group homes for people with Intellectual Disability, known as Individualized Residential Alternatives IRAs provide individuals with a developmental disability the opportunity to live in a family-size group in residential communities. Once in care, these consumers have found a home for life. The facility Services provides residential care for more than six individuals.
Every day I am able to help each of the five males that live there to reach their fullest potential in life. Each of them suffers from a developmental disability that they were born with. I have learned that when you are born with a disability there are many people who say that “he or she will never be able to ….” because of that disability. Being an employee for Ability Beyond Disability has allowed me to help bring out their ability, regardless of their disability.
Working with these individuals has inspired me to continue my education and go to college to obtain my degree in social and behavioral science so that I can continue to help people with disabilities. Working with these guys has changed my perspective on life quite a bit. I have learned the difference between sympathy and empathy; I have learned that I should never take the simple things in life for granted because there are many people who do not have them or cannot do them. I am lucky enough to be able to help teach the people who cannot easily perform simple, everyday tasks to learn the skills they need to be able to master them. I have the privilege of taking the guys into the community and educating others who may not be aware of the disabilities that they possess.

Imagine! SmartHomes guru Greg Wellems presented at the 2014 Alliance Summit on “Technology COPs – An arresting presentation on how three organizations from around the country are working together to improve services and supports.”
Here is a description of his presentation: COPs, or “Communities of Practice,” are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something, and work together to do it better. The session will highlight how Imagine!, New York-based Living Resources and Connecticut-based Ability Beyond are working together to improve services and supports through technology. The three organizations regularly share information and resources and have worked together to design an assessment that helps organizations identify and prioritize technologies to improve the supports they provide. Attendees will learn about this successful collaboration along with a demonstration of the assessment.
Imagine!’s SmartHomes were created to act as living laboratories for testing and refining technologies that can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of service provision for individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities, and to create new opportunities for independence for those individuals. Imagine! is well into the second phase of its SmartHome project, moving technologies out of the SmartHomes and into other service areas as well as individual and family homes. Imagine!’s SmartHomes guru Greg Wellems, along with tech superstars Alex Andrews and Chris Baumgart, are sharing this presentation with Imagine! employees and others in the field, discussing how we are moving from the SmartHomes to SmartSupports.
On May 7, 2014, the Imagine! Foundation hosted a donor recognition event. During the event, the Foundation shared a PowerPoint presentation highlighting all the services Imagine! has been able to provide, in part thanks to its generous donors.
