Empowering Individuals to Thrive
At Clearbrook, we are innovators. We’re always working to recognize the needs among the individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities whom we serve and are striving to meet those needs with best-in-class programs. We consistently reevaluate and reinvent our programs, always developing and honing our skills to best serve our community.
Fueling Potential is an ambitious and transformative initiative designed to elevate and enhance our large Community Day Services programs to best meet the needs and wants of our clients, thereby continuing to hold ourselves to the highest standard of service delivery in our field.
THIS IS OUR VISION. YOUR SUPPORT MAKES IT A REALITY.
OUR VISION
- Expand our programs to better serve individuals with disabilities.
- Provide exceptional, quality care and services.
- Enrich our communities and the world along the way.
How We Will Do It
- Remain focused on providing the best care for our clients, being the best in class.
- Reinvent our Community Day Services programs.
- Find and fund the spaces needed to make that a reality.
WHAT WILL IT LOOK LIKE?
The new CDS program sites will have fewer clients in attendance at each location, allowing for better staff-to-client ratios. These smaller settings will allow for:
- Individualized programming, customized to the clients' interests
- Community outings including volunteer opportunities, educational outings, social outings, and more.
- More staff attention; less stimuli; fewer behaviors
We have already implemented this model as a pilot at a few CDS locations and have seen success. Clients are thriving in these settings. They are gaining confidence and skills to do more things on their own, engaging more socially, and having more fun!

"I think of this space as our old workshop. A new space will help all of us be excited about coming to day program and to learn new things."

Each individual we serve is unique. These lower ratios allow our staff to provide tailored programming and give more individualized attention to each person.
