Open Door has its own spin on “Restaurant Impossible”
You read it here
first!
“Restaurant
Possible!”
Jack P.- Selecting the freshest bread.
Food network and restaurant makeover shows sparked
the interest of several Open Door clients. While watching
a T.V. show, one individual casually mentioned she
would like to try her hand in something like that. Thus,
anything is possible at Open Door. A group of aspiring
restruanteers gathered once
a week for several weeks to
prepare a meal fit for a King.
Our own intermittent clients
volunteered to try out the food
and the service. The goal was to
create the best food and dining
experience possible.
They first met to discuss the
menu. They decided go with
an Italian theme. It included
a choice of Spaghetti and
Chicken or Meat Ravioli for an
entrée, soup or salad, apple pie
or chocolate cake for desert and
finally tea or coffee as a beverage. For
shopping purposes, the guests were
asked to pre-order their food. Next
it was time to divvy up the duties
John G.- Pie anyone?
and assign jobs. This was the easiest part because they
all choose what best suited them and the “staff” came
together without a glitch. Lynn S. and Kelly B. decided
they would work the kitchen. Angie H. and Michael
P. would take care of the service end of it, and Jack P.
happily took the job of bussing the
tables. Behind the scenes, Angela
T. and John G. assisted with the
planning and shopping for the meal.
Each member of the staff practiced
and practiced their chosen job until
their skills were polished.
Angela T.- Deciding which sauce to
purchase
Volume 19 / Number 6
Once all of the planning was
completed, they were off to the
grocery store to make the purchases
for the meal; lots of choices, brands
and prices to consider. The shoppers
were wise and careful with their
selections making sure they were
staying with the theme and within
their budget.

for a fantastic meal and
wonderful service. They ate like kings
and were treated like royalty. One of
them asked when they planned to do it
again…another suggested possibly trying
a Mexican theme.
Once all the guests left, the exhausted
restaurateurs sat down to the meal
themselves. They beamed at each other
as they ate. Angie H. blurted out,
“Mission Accomplished! If they want to
come back, we must have done a great
job!” It looks like with some hard work
and dedication the clients made it all
“Possible!”

Comparison Shopping
Rosie B. writing down prices for pizza ovens
Choices. We always have them, but we don’t always
notice or use them. When it comes to shopping,
sometimes we are just hurried to get the items crossed off
our lists so we are not taking the time to find the best deal.
In hopes of learning more about choices, some of the gang
decided to spend a day checking prices at two stores and
then eat a good lunch. Bill W. said he was ready to look
for deals, “I think comparison shopping is good. I check
prices with my mom, too.” Before leaving Open Door,
we all made lists of what items we would like to price.
We started off at a local big bargain store. It was here that
Rosie B. asked to look at prices for a pizza oven. Rosie
Kelly B. found some deals for CDs
said that it is important “when you go to the store [to]
look at the prices and see if you can find it cheaper.” It
was in the big bargain store that we learned a really good
lesson. Lori B found a CD priced at $3.99 but when we
went to check out, the price was really $13.99! “I learned
to watch what is going on [at the cash register]”, said Lori,
and so did the rest of the gang!
After pricing our items at the big bargain store, we headed
to a resale shop to see if we could find any better deals.
Kelly B. liked the resale store for finding CDs. She said
that “we can get different CDs for a smaller price here
Pat S. doing the math to figure out what is the best deal for shampoo
and I like that.” The resale shop offered a lot
of variety and lower prices, but we learned that
if you were looking for something specific, you
might want to stick to the big bargain chains.
Pat S. priced shirts for her boyfriend and said
she “learned about saving money by seeing what
is cheaper, and lunch was good!” Speaking of
lunch, we used that as another opportunity
to talk of choices. Cara S. led the pack when
she chose a grilled chicken sandwich over a
hamburger and then she chose lemon ice over
ice cream! Cara said that she “likes trying to
be a little more healthy,” and we all appreciate
her taking the lead on this! Rosie B. also made
a healthy choice with a salad and no dessert
afterwards. Way to go Rosie!
Cara S. found a book she was interested
in and at a great price too!
Lori B. checking out the variety of jewelry
offered at the resale store
When we got back to Open Door, Rosie B. said, “I think we should do this more often because I think it is a good
idea.” We agree Rosie; it is always a good idea to learn about your choices whether it be in the store or a restaurant.
We also always have choices in how we treat one another and at Open Door that choice is easy, we choose to treat one
another with respect and kindness!

What is the Ligas Lawsuit?
And what does it mean for me?
The Ligas lawsuit was filed on behalf of adults with
developmental disabilities residing in ICFs/DD who
choose to move to community-based services or
settings, and on behalf of adults with developmental
disabilities residing at home who are seeking
community-based services or settings. On June 15, 2011, a Consent Decree was signed by
the Court in the Ligas lawsuit.
The following is a synopsis of what exactly
the consent decree means for individuals with
developmental disabilities who live in Illinois:
Principles of Ligas
• People with disabilities will have a say and
a choice about how and where services and
supports will be provided.
• People who want services in the community will
have that option.
• Person-centered planning will be used as the
cornerstone in documenting individual needs
and preferences.
• Services will not be limited to those which are
currently available
Ligas Class Member
• A member must be 18 or older with intellectual
or developmental disability and Medicaid
eligible;
• A member lives in a private ICF/DD with 9
or more residents or lives in the family home
seeking services;
• The State of Illinois has a “current record” of the
person seeking Community-Based Services or
placement in a Community-Based Setting.
What are my Rights as a Ligas Class Member?
• You have the right to enroll if you qualify,
and you have the right to not enroll or drop
out of the class if you do not wish to receive
community-based services.
• If you are approved for community funding
under Ligas, you have the right to choose from a
menu of community providers and services.
• If you are eligible for funding under crisis
circumstances, you have the right to receive
services in a timely manner.
Timeline for Community Services for Class
Members Living in ICFs/DD
• Within six years, (6/15/17) all class members
who live in ICFs/DD who request community
services will transition to community settings.
• Within two and one half years, (12/15/13) one
third of class members in ICFs/DD who request
community services will move.
• Within four and one half years, (12/15/15) an
additional one third of class members in ICFs/
DD who request community services will move.
“Waiting List” Class Members
• Class members who move to ICF/DD after
6/15/11 and request community services will be
placed on a waiting list.
• Class member residing at home, not in crisis will
be placed on waiting list.
• 1,000 class members from waiting list will
receive community services by 6/15/2013.
• 500 additional by 6/15/2014.
• 500 additional by 6/15/2015.
• 500 additional by 6/15/2016.
• 500 additional by 6/15/2017.
• At the end of six years class members will move
off the waiting list at a reasonable pace.

GJOVIK TAKES IT A STEP FURTHER
Recently, Olaf Gjovik presented a check
to Open Door and said he was trying to
get a matching grant from the Chicago
Automobile Trade Association. Try & he
did.
Chevy dealerships are celebrating their
100th anniversary this year. Gjovik
commented, “I have been a dealer for
almost half of that.” Baker thanked Olaf
once again for his continued loyal support.
Gjovik replied, “We try to be part of the
community, we try to help out.”

Jen M. with Maggie and Ann Y. with Honey Bun
For fourteen years, Open Door consumers have been
participating in equine therapy through Equine Dreams
Therapeutic Riding Center in Newark, IL. It is a program
to assist consumers in a therapeutic environment for
various disabilities: physical, mental,
and emotional.
Most of the activities at
the riding center involve:
grooming skills, learning
a horse’s anatomy,
walking, commands,
feeding, nutrition, and
physical exercises. Some
consumers ride a trained
therapeutic training
horse. Others enjoy just
being in the fresh air
around the horses and
out in the country, but
don’t want to ride. On
the flip side, we have a
lot of people who would
prefer to ride all day!

day) were solid, well rounded equines. However, due
to many circumstances, they were in need of a lot of retraining.
The purpose of this donation was to provide a new
learning environment
and therapeutic
challenge for consumers
participating at the
riding facility. After a
very long year of hard
work and patience,
most of the minis were
transferred from a
private farm to the riding
facility.
Once graduated, Sharon
(owner of the center)
introduced the Open
Door consumers to the
minis. Each consumer
Debbie K. and Honey Bun
was assigned a mini that
they were to work with in all
areas of grooming, leading, haltering, and then eventually
showing. That’s right… SHOWING!!!
The consumers “graduated” from their riding program
this fall to start a new class, which has been a year in the
We are smack dab in the middle of Halter Class. The
making. A dozen miniature “mini” horses were donated
consumers get their mini from the pen, let them eat some
to the program. These show horses (well trained in their

grass then lead them to the indoor arena (outside when its
warm enough) where they line up and maintain a good
line with their horses. They then move through several
simple patterns working on proper techniques, style and
commands. So far we have worked on circles, weaving,
and tracking (direction the horse will turn in the arena).
Beth, who has been with the program from the very first
day fourteen years ago, loves this personal time with her
special horse, Gracie. “She knows my moods and will
follow my lead. She’s a very smart horse!” We currently
have eight consumers participating: Brandon has Maggie;
Kristina, Billy and Ann share Honey Bun; Dennis works
with Belle Star; Jack works
with Déjà vu; Jen works with
Black Beauty; and Debbie
works with Whimsy, who
is the baby at 10 months
old. “Whimsy is so cute and
fun,” Debbie said. Whimsy
is a handful, like any other
youngster, but Debbie does
very well with her.
The skills they practice
and learn every week will
eventually conclude with a
horse show or two… or three!
The plan for the Halter Class
and shows is for them to take
place at Equine Dreams or the
Kendall County Fair Grounds.
Jen M. with Maggie
The judges will be real horse show judges and, of course,
family and friends will be invited to share the excitement
with their loved ones. The consumers will earn points,
which then determine placing for ribbons and trophies.
The consumers are doing excellent with this new program,
enjoying the daily one- on- one contact with their horses
and taking pride in learning the new skills while working
almost independently; not to mention that it is FUN!!
So… we will keep you posted when its time to be ‘Off to
the Show!!’
