Support the Fueling Potential Project and be a catalyst for change!
Donate today to help us continue our mission of empowering individuals with IDDs to reach their full potential.
By transitioning from a large warehouse-style program to additional smaller, equally successful settings, we’re committed to sustaining and enhancing the support, growth, and community integration that our participants thrive in.
At Clearbrook, we believe in empowering individuals with IDDs to thrive in environments tailored to their unique needs. Through the Fueling Potential Project, we’re setting the stage for brighter futures, one individual at a time.
Clearbrook will invest in three additional properties to accommodate three new day program spaces. The Getz building will be sold to help fund this.
This provides more personalized interaction for our clients, and it lightens the load for our staff. New locations will have staff office space, offering an environment for staff to work productively. Unlike the current open areas where interruptions are common.
The current layout no longer functions effectively for the 150 individuals who attend these programs every week.
Studies have shown that individuals with disabilities do better in smaller settings, which allow for more individualized staff attention as well as less stimulation.
The new day programs will provide more opportunities for individuals to be integrated in the community. Each location will have several new activity spaces which can be used for multiple purposes such as games, dance, and other group activities.
This approach emphasizes accessibility, personalization, community integration, safety, efficiency, and sustainability, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for the individual while contributing to a more inclusive environment.
