Participants whose program goals include increasing their independence, will regularly go into the community with staff and engage in activities with the general population.  Becoming accustomed to appropriate interactions with people they don’t know and learning about the community are benefits of activities like visiting a restaurant and making a purchase at a store in the mall.

Achieve staff formally collects regular feedback from participants, their families and legal guardians, or caretakers, and presents it to the Achieve Advisory Board.  The board uses this information to guide management in determining the services it will provide participants and to makes changes in service delivery.

Although they’ll meet as needed, typically, a participant’s interdisciplinary team meets twice a year.  The team consists of the participant, Achieve staff, residential staff, family members, guardians and other interested persons.  The team evaluates the participant’s progress, discusses his or her goals and their satisfaction with current services and assignments.  The team seeks information on expanding interests and the need for therapy or additional training.
