Good News From The Community
DePo has been generally spending time at home not socializing in the community. He did not have many friends and had a long-term goal of gaining friends and possibly a girlfriend. With the help of another support coordinator, Sheron, we were able to get DePo into My Jacob’s Ladder where he has been flourishing. He has made a good group of friends and has since gotten a girlfriend. This has caused him to be very happy. He is even calling me on his own now if he has a question without the help of his mother. He has since gained a sense of community and independence. He is now taking on more responsibilities since he is more successful in the community.
CoJe lived in a group home when she was a teenager and young adult. There she gained the knowledge and skills needed to be able to successfully live more independently. In 1996, she moved into her own apartment, supported by The Arc of Monmouth in their Supervised Living Program.
CoJe’s boyfriend lives in the same apartment complex and they spend a lot of time together. She often refers to him as “a keeper”. They enjoy spending time together, listening to music, cooking dinner, watching movies, going to the library, and other community activities. They are big supports for each other.
CoJe works at Seabrook Village, a senior living retirement community, a job she has held for over fourteen years. She has held a variety of jobs including the salad bar, beverage stations, and wrapping silverware. She is a valued team member, advocates for herself, and enjoys interacting with the residents. She is supported by a job coach when she needs advice or guidance. Her job coach helps her to effectively communicate and is also helping her learn to use the employee app and a computer.
My selection for the MOCEANS Support Coordination Success Story for the month of April 2022 goes to RoGa. I had the opportunity to see him in action at a visit to his ARC of Ocean Day Program located in Tuckerton, New Jersey. He was very welcoming to me, as he always is, and seemed very happy to share this part of his life and his routine for the day. He and his classmates were engaged in a lesson on the parts of a plant, and he proceeded with his seatwork assignments in a very focused and diligent manner. The lesson further provided him with the opportunity to display his aptitude in word recognition related to the topic along with a variety of fine motor skills in coloring, cutting, and pasting. RoGa demonstrated great pride in all of his work and exhibited excellent manners towards his teachers and fellow students. He is a delightful, hard-working young man who overflows with enthusiasm in everything that he does, and is most deserving to be selected as the MOCEANS Support Coordination Success Story for the month of April 2022.
