Twelve-week classestaught the clients how to develop their retail skills, sociainteractions and greeting skills, along with teamworkClarissa worked with the clients to make their schedulesfor the month and assisted with supervision two days

a week. When it came to ordering and managing theincome of the store, Clarissa worked each week to keepthe store stocked with snacks and keep the operationrunning smoothly. It was fulfilling watching the con-sumers learn and work in the store, said Clarissa. Theyalways seemed to be enjoying themselves.

The other major project Clarissa worked on wasthe Token Store. We were moving the store to a new

location in the workshop, so Clarissaand our retail group packed up the oldstore to get ready for the move. Thenew location needed to be cleaned and

painted, where again, Clarissa workeddirectly with clients. Once the new storewas ready she and the clients sortedorganized and arranged the new storeby category, did color-coded pricingand developed a Grand Opening for

Mothers Day items.Along with her big projects at ODW, Clarissa spent

quality time getting to know many of the clients aOpen Door. I was pretty overwhelmed at first, tryingto meet everyone,learn names andgett ing to knowthe consumers onan individual ba-sis, Clarissa saidof her biggest chal-lenge when startingat Open Door. Butshe soon got overthe newness. Now

A Different Kind of Volunteer

(Continued on page 2)

At Open Door, we have all typesof volunteers, dona-tions and assistance,and they all come invarious shapes andsizes. During thelast nine months, wehave had a differentkind of volunteer...

an Intern from AuroraUniversity, earning her degree in Social Work. ClarissaHachmeister came to us on August 25, 2006 and endedher internship on April 26, 2007.

Clarissa was an important part of somany aspects here at the West Work-shop, from developing curriculum totraining to running goals to just being

a role model and friend to so many ofthe clients. While Clarissa was here, shewas supervised by Beth Risk, an MSW,which is required for all Social WorkInterns at their job sites. Clarissa is verymature and was never quick to judge theclients, said Beth, QMRP. She never ex-pected too little from them, she always had high expec-tations. Clarissa was truly Beths right hand during hertime at Open Door. She definitely used her educationand experience when we had to evaluate situations,stated Beth. She always got the facts before assessingthe problem, which is something she developed whiledoing her internship. According to Beth, Clarissa wasan excellent teacher to the clients.

One of the major projects that Clarissa worked onwhile she was here was the development and imple-mentation of the Healthy Choice Store. This is a smallstore operated by consumers during break times atthe workshop, which offers healthy snacks for smallprices. Clarissa worked to develop a curriculum to teach

Can I Quote You?

What did you like best about working with Clarissa?

Cara S.: She was wonderful. I will miss her.

Steve C.: She was fun to work with and I learned a lot from her.

Lynn S.: She worked on my money goal with me and came to visit me at

my house.

Andrew S.: She was a good teacher.

Jen M.: I liked going to the library and the dollar store with

Clarissa.

(Continued from page 1)

I have a much better idea of eachindividuals capabilities. She assistedwith assessments, goal administra-tion, helped clients complete applica-tions and worked on placement skillswith those preparing for communityemployment. Every week she would

go to the homes of a couple of ladiesand visit with them, taking an interestin their lives outside of the workshop.She took many consumers on librarytrips, helped one client move froma family home to one of the grouphomes, shopping and job site tours.Clients came to rely on her and appreciate her in more ways than one. Not onlydid she help the clients, but the case managers knew they could trust her compe-tence and work ethic to be dedicated and caring in all aspects of the job. Clarissashowed a lot of initiative and worked independently, very much a self-starter, saidPam Morton, Program Coordinator. We were able to implement several programsthis year due to Clarissas help and hard work.

Clarissa said she would not hesitate to recommend Open Door to other studentswanting an internship or employment. It is a good facility with a lot of teachingand growth with the clients, she said, and the staff is always willing to help.

It wasnt long before we didnt think of Clarissa as an intern only or someonevolunteering, but as a trusted friend and co-worker here at Open Door, and shewill be missed greatly. Clarissa will be starting a new internship at Good SamaritanHospital in Downers Grove working with the hospital Social Worker there. We haveno doubt they will appreciate her as much as we did.

Open Door West Rehab TimeWhen you think of the West

Workshop, you often think ofour clients working hard onthe various jobs we have, and

parts, parts parts! Recently,however, we have expandedthe learning opportunities of-fered at West by introducing al-ternate work activities, or whatwe affectionately call rehabtime. This gives our individu-als the chance to learn variousskills they may be interestedin or want to brush up on.A catalog was developed bycase manager Carrie Thomas

that is easy to read and full ofpictures showing the variousactivities that are available.She stated, I look forward tocoming up with more creativeways to increase the desirefor our clients to learn newthings. Its just the beginningto improving the quality of ourworkshop.

Different activities includeadult education classes, worksamples, work skills games,independent studies and ex-ercise. Some of the classesoffered are back by populardemand while others are new.They include Notable Events,History of Music, History ofMovies, and Pen Pals. Theclients also have the chanceto improve upon or learn anew skill for a job they may

have difficulty with. These work samples simulate theparts and procedures requiredfor a particular job. This canbe anything from snappingLegos together, to sortingand bagging different coloredpieces of paper, to placingsmall rubber bands on the

end of a pencil. By practic-ing these tasks, they canfeel confident in beginninga new job and take pride

in the quality work theyproduce.Another option for rehab

time is developing workskills through board gamesdealing with different top-ics such as communicationsafety and survival skills, andmoney management. Thereare also worksheets avail-able for independent studythat cover daily living skills

basic math, and job seekingFinally, we will be able to of-fer exercise activities includ-ing aerobic videos, and nowthat the weather is gettingnicer, we will have outdooractivities such as kickballvolleyball, parachute gameand more!

Another project that ialso being developed by Car-rie is the Work-For-A-Dayprogram. This program wilutilize businesses in the com-munity that would be willingto have our clients shadow

a worker for a day. This wilhelp clients that may behesitant about working in thecommunity, or those who juswant to explore their optionsto find out what they wouldlike to do. Keep your ears

open for more informationwhen this program takes off!

We are constantly brainstorming new ideas and build-ing on old ones to ensure ourclients have the most oppor-tunities to develop not onlytheir work skills at work, bualso their social, emotiona

and physical well-being!

DT Bookworms and Proud of it!A group of in-

dividuals from theDeve lopmenta lTraining Program isexploring the land

and wonders of theSandwich Library.They will attendthe library for a12-week course,learning skills suchas obtaining a li-brary card, check-ing out books andthe length of timebefore they must

be returned, and all of the othermaterials and services that are pro-vided by our community library.The Librarian, Sherry Tinerella, hasoffered to assist us on our 12-weekquest for knowledge.

Each person showed up withthe proper identification and com-pleted the necessary paperwork to

obtain a library card. One individ-ual was clearly very proud to havehis very own library card as hewalked around showing everyone what he had. Sherrygave a tour of the library, stopping to point out the high-lights. Several individuals stopped to look at books thatwere of special interest to them. Each person is uniqueas are their interests and they gravitated towards their

favorite sec-tions.

T h e

f r i e n d l y L i b r a r -ian, Sherry,showed acouple ofcompu te rbu f f s thec o m p u t -ers and the

software availableto them. Their eyes widened as if awhole new worldhad just opened

u p f o r t h e m !They were usedto working withcompute r s bu thad no idea theywere at the librarytoo. She read thebook, Let it Shine,by Ashley Bryan tothe group. Severalmembers of the

group are unable to read and enjoybeing read to on a regular basisSherry had a knack for story telling which was clear by the way thegroup hung on to every word sheread and listened so attentively. Shetold them that she will have storytime each week they come. Theyall gleamed at her.

The individuals left the Sand- wich Library looking forward toreturning for the 12-week course

This group will have a ceremony and receive prizes andcertificates of completion when the course is finishedOnce completed, the individuals will continue to go tothe library; however, a new group will have a chance tosee what being a DT Bookworm is all about!

Open for the Senses!The Development Training program at Open Door

has finally opened the long-awaited Sensory Roomfor use! Sensory rooms have been proven to havetherapeutic value to individuals with developmentaldisabilities.

How did Open Door make this happen? Severalstaff members did extensive research on the useand benefits of stimulating the senses. They visitedseveral other agencies regarding their sensory roomsand researched thenecessary adaptiveequipment neededto make the bestpossible sensoryroom. The green-eyed monster cameout with envy on

what appeared to bean unlimited budget(or donations) inthe visited sensoryrooms. Specialized equipment comes with quite alarge price tag. Many items cost $2,000 to $3,000apiece! Wow! That was discouraging. One creativestaff member was determined to make our sensoryroom the best it could be with a limited budget. Shecompared costs of various sensory items, put in somecreativity and ingenuity, and then turned in her pro-

posal. You guessed it,she was set loose ona shopping spree topurchase as muchas possible withinthe allotted bud-get. She shoppedaround purchas-ing fabrics, showercurtains, clearanceholiday and yardlights, shopped ev-

erywhere she couldthink of to mimic the effects of the adaptive equip-ment. The door to the sensory room stood lockedfor one week while she worked her magic, wrotecurriculum for small groups and individuals and thentrained staff.

The doors finally opened for use. The clients wereso excited as the small groups cycled in and out!Some sat in comfy bean bag chairs, others in a mas-

sage chair and therewas plenty of roomfor those clients whouse wheelchairs.

Clearly, the atmo-

sphere was soothingand calming. A senseof peacefulness wasin the room. Withthe lights dimly liand the scent of lav-ender in the air, one

individual listened to the sounds of the seas. Hespoke of the sounds of the birds, waves and windshe could hear and stated, Wow, its been a long timesince Ive been to the beach; I can almost feel the sandbetween my toes. That statement told us the goal

had been achieved. Many others enjoyed the senseof touch by exploring textures of many various items

The room also in-cludes a wonderfulight show, some ofthe lights are handson and others are forvisual stimulation.

The s en s o r yroom is a wonderfuassest for the clients

to enjoy. We hopeto continue addingitems to enhance

our sensory room. There are a few pieces of adaptiveequipment we are unable to make or create; onceagain, these items come with a large price tag. OpenDoor has been applying for grants to help us out noluck so far but well keep trying!

What Were All AboutThe Open Door Rehabilitation Center believes that the most

fundamental contribution it can make is to help the disabled help

themselves. This belief is central to every service and program we

provide.

The person with disabilities has talent and potential. The heart

of our operation is to recognize, evaluate and nurture this talent andpotential in order to help the individual function up to his maximum

capabilities.

A person who realizes that he is rendering a useful service gains

in self-respect and self-esteem. This sense of self-worth is intimately

related to successful personal adjustment and development of the skills

of daily living. And beyond these basic factors, an improved quality

of life includes meaningful leisure time activities. The consumer must

be involved in the planning of these activities so that he can discern

those that give pleasure and learn how to pursue them.

Thus, independence and self worth are built upon a foundation

of personal development, useful service to others and meaningful

management of leisure time.

The above is taken directly from Open Doors Philosophy State-ment. This is the heart of what Open Door is. We staff members atOpen Door consider ourselves to be a teaching facility. This meansthat we take the notion of helping others to help themselves veryseriously. The proof is in the programs. Every program we offer isbased around the ideal that teaching the individual is more importantthan doing for the individual. Of course, there are things that wemust do for individuals who simply cannot, for whatever reason,do it for themselves. However, each individual tries to the best of

his/her ability.There is no failure in trying. With every program whether it is cooking, checkbook keeping, activity planning, orsocial skills, etc. the learning process is always focused upon. In thebusiness this concept is called Caretaking vs. Facilitating. OpenDoor provides care for all individuals while facilitating the learningprocess so that the individual may be self-sufficient and develop asense of self-respect, self-esteem and self-worth. As the old wisesaying states, Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a manto fish and he eats for a lifetime.
