Annual Report 2009 - Developmental Center of the Ozarks

Annual Report 2009
Philosophy
Developmental Center of the Ozarks is dedicated to the philosophy that individuals who are
developmentally disabled are first individuals with all the privileges, rights, and responsibilities of
any citizen. As part of this concept, DCO will advocate for the acceptance of individuals who are
developmentally disabled into the community through education and awareness activities, the use of
community sites, homes, and resources for teaching and therapy activities, and networking with other
agencies and organizations to promote the full inclusion of individuals with disabilities.
Our Mission
Developmental Center of the Ozarks makes a positive difference
in the community by providing services which enable individuals to
reach and maintain their optimal level of development.

Dear Friends of DCO,
Life is full of many simple truths, and the simple
truth is that DCO cannot succeed in its mission to
help individuals with developmental disabilities
reach their maximum potential without your
support. Your kindness and generosity give our
staff the resources they need to make a profound
difference in the lives of many. While you may
not see the end result of your contribution to
DCO, be assured it is beautiful.
On behalf of the entire Board of Directors and
our dedicated staff, thank you for continuing to be
part of the DCO team. You are an integral part of
our success.

In 1954, a small group of parents whose children had Cerebral
Palsy banded together to find some help and some hope. Out of
their courage and foresight emerged the United Cerebral Palsy
Center of SW Missouri (today called Developmental Center of
the Ozarks).
What began as a single program in borrowed space now serves
hundreds from four area counties each year - with five programs
located in three Missouri cities.

“ Dawson is
always excited
to go to
his school.”
Dawson loves going to DCO. He’s been at DCO since he
was 3 1/2 months old and he loves that everyone knows
him.
One day we were staying home because of inclement
weather and he came to me and said, “But I need to go to
my school today.” He is always excited to go to DCO and
that makes us excited.

“ I am amazed
at how much
she progresses
each day.”
When Ella-Jane was
10 months old, she was unable to roll
over, get to a sitting position, or crawl. She was content
wherever she was.
She has been in therapy since that time and is now able to
roll over, get to a sitting position, crawl, and even walk.
Ella-Jane is also starting to explore our house. I finally get
to tell her, “No”! It is wonderful the gains she has made. I
am amazed at how much she progresses each day. Thanks
to all the therapists who have helped Ella-Jane.
~Janelle M., Parent
DCO’s Therapy Program is
nationally accredited and approved
by the Department of Elementary
and Secondary Education for First
Steps services. DCO has provided
therapy services to individuals with
developmental disabilities since
1954.
Evaluations and therapy services
are provided by licensed and/
or certified Physical Therapists,
Speech/Language Pathologists,
Occupational Therapists and
Special Instructors.
Our therapists provide First
Steps early intervention services
to children while assisting the
classroom teachers, parents, or
other interested individuals to
develop strategies and activities
which can be integrated into the
natural routines and schedules of
the individual and/or family. These
First Steps services are provided for
children from birth to three years of
age through home visits and include
family/caregiver training.
For those who are not part of the
First Steps program, our Therapists
evaluate and develop a treatment
plan based on the assessed strengths
and needs of the individual. This
service is a more traditional
therapy approach of scheduled
appointments at our center.

Adult Technology
Learning Center
The Technology Learning Center
(TLC) Program offers services to
individuals who are referred by
the family or Service Coordination
agency. The program provides
both Center based and Community
Classes, as well as Volunteer
Opportunities and Personal
Assistance.
The TLC Program offers learning
labs based on several levels of
individual needs. The course
choices change every four months
and include activities such as
computers, gardening, woodworking
and pre-vocational skills. Classes
and volunteer sites in the community
are designed to compliment and
provide opportunities for the adult
learner to practice skills learned in
the center based labs. They also
provide an excellent opportunity for
inclusive experiences.
Our goals are to provide an
environment in which new skills
can be learned and additional
skills can be refined or relearned.
We aim to increase skills leading
toward personal independence,

TLC featured at
First Friday
Art Walk
downtown.
Designing with Art is just one
example of some of the most popular classes
offered in 2009 through our Technology Learning Center.
Many of our special event sponsors received some
wonderful works of art as a token of our appreciation.
In addition, numerous canvases were featured at Lili’s
Diner in Downtown Springfield as part of First Friday Art
Walk in September. Admirers were given the opportunity
to purchase the art for their own home or office and the
artwork was on display for the entire month of September.
As you can see in the picture above, each consumer was
extremely proud of what they created.

By increasing
productivity
Shawn has
increased his
paycheck.
In 2009, Shawn celebrated his one year
anniversary of working full time on a work crew. He’s been
at DCO for more than 10 years and loves working.
Shawn always arrives in uniform and rarely misses a day
of work. He consistently follows the safety guidelines and
begins working immediately at the beginning of his shift.
By increasing productivity, Shawn has increased his
paycheck since becoming full time.
The Employment Program
is designed to assist eligible
individuals to obtain and maintain
gainful employment through a Job
Coach Model. Individuals who
are older than 16 and referred
through agencies such as Vocational
Rehabilitation and Rehabilitation
for the Blind are eligible for this
program. After an assessment of
vocational interests, preferences,
and skills is completed, a job
placement is made. Employment
Specialists provide training,
support, and intervention in the
work place to ensure a successful
placement.
In the group model, several
individuals perform the task and are
paid according to their productivity.
Work crews are employed in an
integrated work site and have
excellent opportunities for inclusion
with employees who do not have
disabilities. Programs are available
in Greene and Taney Counties
and approved by Vocational
Rehabilitation, Department of

accredited by CARF. In Taney
County, the Summer Youth

“ They set goals
for her
to accomplish.”
We love DCO because it’s home away from home. The
staff are very warm, loving and caring people. We also like
that DCO provides a safe and secure place for parents and
guardians like us to take our loved ones to. It enables us to
do our jobs to take care of them.
Susie has grown so much since she has lived here with
us, and much of it has been from the help of the DCO
staff. They set goals for her to accomplish; for example,
socializing, learning to do laundry, and picking up after
herself. DCO Staff deserves a very high five card for
everything they do. We sure do appreciate you for being
there for us and our Susie Q.

DCO Annual
Meeting
We held
our Annual Meeting March
17th at Uncle Buck’s
Auditorium at Bass Pro.
This is a great time for us
to show appreciation to
our faithful supporters
and share with them how
DCO continues to touch and change lives.
Our parent speaker, Rebecca, shared how DCO therapists helped
her daughter, Claire, get to where she is now. Where before
she could not walk, she
now walks across rooms.
Rebecca also shared how
the therapists encouraged
her personally, reminding
her that Claire is Claire no
matter what.

Sixth Annual Boulevard Dinner
Our sixth annual Boulevard Dinner was held May 8th at
Wellington Place. Attendees enjoyed dinner paired with
some great Boulevard Brewing Company beers. The
event also featured unique live and silent auctions as well
as a parent of an adult in our TLC program who shared
the difference the program has made in her family’s lives.
Thanks to the support of our committee and sponsors, we
were able to raise $30,000!
Grape vs. Grain
We held our Second Annual Grape vs. Grain
event at the home of Nancy and John Price. This
Endowment Fund event is a five-course food
and beverage pairing dinner, allowing guests to
sample and choose if they prefer the wine or beer
selection with each course. For the second year,
wine was the preferred drink, although beer was a
close second. Through this great event, more than
$15,000 was raised to help ensure DCO is able to
continue changing lives for many years to come!

5th Annual
Beach Bash
Our 5th Annual Malibu Beach Bash was a blast from
the past. From costumes to food to decor, it was
obvious we were “Shipwrecked on Gilligan’s Island.”
The event featured unique live and silent auctions and entertainment
provided by Sequel Dose. New this year was a guest favorite, Pineapple
Whip! Parent speaker, Ashley, shared with the guests the difference that DCO
has made in the life of her family and her daughter, Kaylen.
Thanks to the support of our sponsors, attendees, committee members, auction

DCO: A Place for Friends
Shawn says that he loves DCO because this is where his friends are.
Being enrolled in the Technology Learning Center, he’s also grown as an artist, painting very lovely works of art.
One of his greatest joys is working alongside some of his dearest friends and earning money. He is a very
productive member of the “shredding team” of the Pre-Vocational class.
One of DCO’s greatest joys is helping adults like Shawn grow and build meaningful relationships.
