Abilities United Receives New Vans

Local non-profit showcases donated vans Wednesday afternoon with balloons and ribbon cutting ceremony.

By Alejandro Lopez de Haro, reporter Palo Alto Patch

Local disabled residents have a new way to get around town.

Abilities United, a local non-profit that champions people with developmental and physical disabilities, is rolling out three new Ford vans after a successful fundraising campaign.

These vans will be of great help to the organization’s transportation needs for several of their activities, said Wendy Kuehnl, marketing director at Abilities United.

“These vans are essential because it gives participants a safe transportation mechanism to get to their various volunteer positions,” said Kuehnl.

One program that will see particular improvement is “Community Connections,” an Abilities United Adult Day Activities Program that allows volunteers with developmental and physical disabilities to participate as helpers at more then 30 local non-profits.

The vans are wheelchair accessible and can fit nine passengers. “These vans are essential because some participants are in wheelchairs and need special transportation,” said Kuenhl.

The Community Connects program is very important for Abilities United, said Kuenhl, because participants earn a lot of useful skills, and because the non-profits are able to witness first-hand the effectiveness of these volunteers.

“It allows participants an opportunity to develop social interactive skills and gives them a sense of accomplishment,” said Kuehnl.

The participants are often good at their jobs, and it is through these positive results that Abilities United wishes to change attitudes and misconceptions.

“The program shows to the general community that these individuals have a lot of abilities and do bring lot of value to the community,” said Kuehnl.

The organization had been operating the transportation element of their programs with a set of older vans. They had aged quite a bit and were in need of replacements.

“We have three other vehicles that are over ten years old and falling apart,” said Lynda Steele, Executive Director of Abilities United. “We had to replace them.”

The vans cost more then $150,000 and were sponsored by the Hedco Foundation, the Bothin Foundation, the Mercury News Wishbook Fund and other anonymous donors. A member of the Ford family was also instrumental in the procurement of the vans.

The quality of the Abilities United programs was stated as one of the mains reasons why sponsors decided to get involved.

“Abilities United found us and told us of their need,” said Roger Schwab, of Hedco Foundation. “It looked like a very good program and we decided it to contribute.”

The specific nature of the request and the help that it would provide was another factor that got some sponsors on board.

“It was so specific and worthy,” said Sue McAllister, coordinator of the San Jose Mercury News Wishbook Fund. “Without having this reliable transportation… you could see why it would be very tough for them.”

More then twenty of the participants from this program attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony. All showed a lot of excitement and gratitude for the vans that would now take them to their diverse jobs. Some told Patch about the benefits that these vans would bring.

“It’s going to make thing easier for everybody,” said Mike Self, an active member of the Community Connects program. “They are nice and pretty cool.”

Other participants expressed approval for the wide variety of colors that were chosen for the vans.

“They are pretty colorful,” said Armando Santillano. “I like the purple one and the red one.”

Motorized wheelchair helps San Mateo man maintain his independence

Ray Bogdan, a gentleman of 50+ years living with Cerebral Palsy, requires the use of a motorized transport to maintain his independence. Previously, he has been able to use an electric scooter to suit his transportation needs, and a manual wheelchair for moving around his home. However, in the time that he has worked with Abilities United ILS, his scooter has been in and out of the shop frequently, and is clearly no longer able to suit his needs. So, Wheelchairs of San Mateo initiated a request for Ray to receive a new, electric wheelchair, so that he may maintain his independence and continue to enjoy his outdoor excursions without the constant and necessary presence of support services.

One of Ray's ILS goals is to improve his ability to utilize and work with his support services, he and I made a series of phone calls, gathering and delivering information necessary to expedite this process. Eventually it came to a point where the Health Plan of San Mateo was uncertain if Ray qualified for this new wheelchair, as they had recently covered the purchase of his manual wheelchair.

It became necessary for ILS to advocate formally and directly for Ray, expressing his needs in a detailed and comprehensive letter that would illustrate the multitude of reasons Ray absolutely required this motorized wheelchair, and how a manual wheelchair would not suffice. An important focus of this letter was the progressively debilitating nature of his condition, and the increasing need he has for assisted mobility, out in the community and also in his own home.

The request was authorized! The doctors reviewing the case realized that the progressive debilitation of Ray's condition indeed warranted a more accessible mobility device. On Friday, August 12, Ray's new wheelchair (he calls it the Bently) arrived at his home in San Mateo. I saw him the following Wednesday, and he was showing off all the cool new tricks it could do, and had a smile clear across his face. I can't recall a time I've seen him happier, the chair is a dramatic improvement on his old scooter and is going to be essential in Ray's continued involvement in his Downtown San Mateo community.

Abilities United Aquathon– Swimmers’ Goal is to raise $200,000 to Champion the Abilities in Disabilities

-->

Now in it’s second year in Sunnyvale, the Annual Abilities United Aquathon www.AbilitiesUnited.org/aquathon is likely to be another record fundraising day on Saturday, September 10, 2011 at the California Sports Center, Sunnyvale Swim Complex, Fremont High School, 1283 Sunnyvale-Saratoga Road in Sunnyvale. The event is scheduled from 8:30 am – 1 pm. This fun-filled event raises money for Abilities United services for individuals with developmental and physical disabilities.

Abilities United’s new Corporate and Foundation Giving Officer, Jo Bailard, is managing the 33^rd annual Aquathon which raises as much as $200,000 for the Palo Alto agency’s services for people with developmental disabilities. This year’s fundraising goal is $200,000. Collaborating with Ms. Bailard on this year’s event, which will be attended by over 400 swimmers and volunteers from throughout the Peninsula and South Bay, are Linda Chin and volunteer Vicki Yamaoka, of Los Altos. Joining Abilities United this year to present the event awards is KGO AM 810 Newstalk Radio personality, John Rothmann and former Olympic swimmer, Susan Roy. San Jose Sharks mascot, Sharkie will make his annual “splash”, delighting children and adults alike.

The hundreds of swimmers include employees from corporations throughout Silicon Valley, participants and staff at Abilities United programs, and local community residents. Long-time Abilities United supporter and Los Altos resident, Ann Hepenstal is the captain of the Intel Employees' Team has been involved with the Aquathon for nearly 20 years: “Organizing an Aquathon team has brought me a lot of personal satisfaction. Through very little effort, I make a huge difference. I bring together employees from across our company for a morning of fun and fellowship. By doing so, I help Abilities United provide their programs enabling people with developmental disabilities lead the lives they choose.”

The Abilities United Aquathon epitomizes the vision of Abilities United, a world where all people; of all abilities; live, work, and play side-by-side with mutual respect for each individual’s unique contributions. Abilities United strives to be a model of how society can be barrier free to enable the full participation of people with disabilities and their families. The Aquathon is a community and team-building event where people of all walks of life, all ages and all abilities, swim side-by-side to raise money to help fund the training, education, and support that Abilities United provides to people with developmental and physical disabilities so they can lead the lives they choose.

One of the star Aquathon fundraisers is recent Sunnyvale resident Bill Hall, a retiree, who receives Independent Living Skills training from Abilities United. Bill began fundraising in 2006 when he went door-to-door in his community and generated nearly $1,000 in donations. Each year he has increased his fundraising dollars and this year, his personal fundraising goal is $1,200. How does Bill motivate people to donate? “I take the flyers to companies and ask if they would like to give to the disabled. I don’t actually ask for money, I leave it up to them. If they want to give $1 or $5, it doesn’t matter, whatever they want to give is good. “ Bill is very humble about his prowess as a fundraiser but his efforts warrant recognition. He has received the “Client Fundraising Award” for two consecutive years. Bill’s success may be closely related to his realistic expectations, “Raising money is a lot of work but everything you do, you have to put your heart into it and do the best you can. Each year is different, you just have to keep trying. Every time I do it I learn more and more. I’ve learned to go with the flow, and be thankful for what I get.” He further stated, “I feel good about raising money for the disabled. It’s for a good cause and I know it’s being well used.”

Among the 2,500 Bay Area residents who benefit from the fund raised at the Aquathon is Palo Alto resident Mike Seiders. As this year’s honorary swimmer, Mike will kick-off the event with the inaugural swim. Mike has a lifetime of big aspirations and an "I can figure it out" attitude. His personal goals have enabled him to progress through the Abilities United Early Intervention program , graduating from the Palo Alto school system and Foothill Community College. As an adult, Mike has held various jobs through the Abilities United Employment Services program where he receives job placement and employment coaching. Today, Mike is an integral member of the Abilities United janitorial team and keeps the facilities clean and neat…all with a smile and positive work attitude.

Mike also learned to swim at the Abilities United Betty Wright Swim Center. Once a year Mike and his family organize a “Big Mike” team and swim in the Abilities United Aquathon. This is their way of saying “thank you for being there for us” and, of course, is a great opportunity for Mike to show off his swimming skills. Michael’s mother, an Abilities United board member, states: “Abilities United provides vital support to my son. I cannot adequately express the importance of Abilities United to Mike’s long-term maturity, mental and physical health, and community socialization. Life has not always been easy, but Mike’s positive attitude and the support of this community make it seem so".

Mike is the first one to say that he couldn't achieve all his goals on his own. He values the help he has received from his parents, his teachers, his coaches, the community at large and Abilities United. As Mike says: "I've been with Abilities United a long time - since I rocked the crib. Now I'm out there, living on my own. Abilities United has helped me be who I am".

Mike, along with his friends and family, are one of 50 teams scheduled to swim in the friendly, competitive, continuous swim relay to raise funds for Abilities United, a Palo Alto not-for-profit agency that champions people with developmental and physical disabilities.

Teams, made up of 6 to 8 people from all over the Bay Area, swim for 30-minute to raise funds. Corporate matches are added to team totals.

Sponsors of the Abilities United Aquathon including NVIDIA, Oracle, Lockheed Martin, MarketRiders, Webcor Builders, Intuit, Milk Pail Market of Mountain View, Montreux Equity Partners, Mulcahy Family Dentistry and SRI of Menlo Park. Media sponsors include KGO AM810 and the Palo Alto Weekly/Palo Alto Online.

Eunice Kennedy Shriver and Ted Kennedy: A Commemoration

-->

To commemorate the second anniversary of the passing of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, we are posting this story written by Lynda Steele, ED of Abilities United and published in Parenting on the Peninsula, November 2009.

Eunice Kennedy Shriver is, for those of us who work with people with special needs, the ultimate role model. She is an example of what can be accomplished by one person with a passion for a cause. She was a woman, who for decades relentlessly pursued her vision of a just world for people with developmental disabilities. Her tenacity, commitment, and influence to forge a revolution to expand the rights and independence of people with developmental disabilities, inspires all of us to follow in her footsteps in whatever small or grand way we can.

Today, it is impossible to imagine what the lives of people with developmental disabilities would look like without the impact of Eunice. Would most of these individuals still be in institutions, provided inadequate medical care, or worse yet, abused at the hands of their so called caregivers? Granted, these injustices may still exist today but fortunately, only in pockets. The majority of individuals now lead lives that offer stimulation, challenge, education, employment, and independent living. The nationwide network of early intervention, after school and day activity programs, education, employment services, independent living, recreation, respite, and therapeutic services, give each U.S. resident with developmental disabilities or delays new opportunities to live their life as they chose. They are no longer a “victim” of society’s institutions or ignorance. Today, individuals with developmental disabilities are contributors to their community. They work at local companies as tax paying citizens. They “give back” to society as volunteers at local nonprofits. They collaborate with their classmates and teachers. They inspire others through athletics, arts, and leadership. They use their own talents and skills to live independently and make their own impact on the world. We still have progress to make to reach the ultimate goal of equal opportunities for people with disabilities but the drive of people like Eunice Kennedy Shriver and her younger brother, Ted, have gotten us very far along the journey. And though multitudes of dedicated parents, professional, volunteers, donors, caregivers and other community members have made this possible, at the helm was Eunice Kennedy Shriver.

Eunice taught all of us that we couldn’t go it alone, that this revolution, like all revolutions, is a community effort. She recruited many to help her forge her vision, even her own children and family members, as is so evident on the Eunice Kennedy Shriver website, where her son Timothy Shriver wrote: “… To this day, the mission of Special Olympics is rooted in the values of hope, love and opportunity. To create an opportunity for people with intellectual disabilities where they can compete, experience success and showcase their talents to the world. … I challenge each of you to further my mother's work and vision -- reach out to a person with intellectual disabilities who every day is looking for hope, love and opportunity. When we open our eyes to that which is around us it is so simple to do. Smile, reach out and say hello to those with intellectual disabilities in your schools and your communities. Get involved and volunteer with your local Special Olympics. I guarantee your life will be enriched and you will get back more than you give.”

Although Shriver is best known for establishing the Special Olympics in 1968, she spent decades changing the daily lives of people with developmental disabilities in countless important ways. As the executive vice president of the Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. Foundation in the 1950s, she established two major objectives for the foundation: to prevent intellectual disabilities by identifying its causes, and to improve the means by which society deals with citizens who have intellectual disabilities. Under her leadership, in 1961, the Foundation established The President's Committee on Mental Retardation. The next year, the Foundation developed the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development. In 1967 they created a network of university-affiliated facilities and mental retardation research centers at major U.S. medical schools. Centers for the study of medical ethics at Harvard and Georgetown Universities were created in 1971. The "Community of Caring" concept for the reduction of intellectual disabilities among babies of teenagers was launched in 1981 followed by sixteen "Community of Caring" Model Centers in 1982, and the "Community of Caring" programs in 1200 public and private schools from 1990-2006. Shriver founded the “Community of Caring” to create a school community to teach values across the curriculum in a safe and healthy learning environment in which all children, including students with disabilities, could succeed and prosper academically and ethically.

There is no doubt that Eunice Kennedy Shriver has changed the fabric of life for people with developmental disabilities as well as the lives of their families, friends, neighbors and coworkers. She will be missed but we all vow to carry on her mission and strive to attain her vision. Who could imagine the expanse of the meaning of her words when she convened the first Special Olympics on that sweltering July 20 at Chicago’s Soldier Field, “You are the stars and the world is watching you. By your presence you send a message to every village, every city, every nation. A message of hope. A message of victory.”

On August 25, we lost another great friend to people with special needs. But like his sister Eunice, Ted Kennedy’s spirit and the impact he has had on the lives of people with disabilities will forever be felt in our society. According to Disability Scoop, Kennedy was a chief sponsor of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the 1990 legislation that ensures people with disabilities equal access to public places and employment. The ADA culminated years of civil rights work to ensure the rights of people with disabilities to employment, appropriate housing and care, voting, air travel and protection from crimes. Kennedy was a co-sponsor of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975, which later became the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). He was also instrumental in establishing government definitions for terms like “developmental disability” and changing the terminology from “handicapped” to “disability.” Andrew Imparato, president and CEO of the American Association of People with Disabilities spoke for all of us, “His legacy will be felt for generations to come, as millions of Americans with disabilities and our families recommit ourselves to his vision of equality and full citizenship for all people.”

Rest in peace Eunice and Teddy. You will long be remembered and cherished by the millions of individuals from all walks of life you have touched.

Lynda Steele, Executive Director of Abilities United in Palo Alto, has dedicated her 30 year career to improving and changing the lives of people with disabilities by developing and managing high

quality community services as an alternative to institutional care.

Project WaterWell final push to reach $425,000 goal!

Aquatic Services client Ron Cote and his wife and Abilities United board member Geri Hadley, and Linda Chin the Development Director of Abilities United were recently interviewed on On the Move, recorded by a local Mountain View TV station (KMVT). The video is available at on Youtube

Ron tells his inspirational story about his spinal cord injury and the progress he has made using the warm water therapy of the Betty Wright Swim Center located at Abilities United. Donna Yeager, host of the program, having learned to swim at the BWSC and a current client, also attests to the benefits this unique indoor warm water, wheelchair accessible pool provides to the community and those who can benefit from warm water exercise.

Ron, Geri and Linda also talk about Project WaterWell, our infrastructure and capital improvement campaign for the aging Betty Wright Swim Center. A recent $25,000 anonymous challenge gift was just matched by the Sheri Sabrato Sonsini's Foundation – Sheri used to volunteer/teach at the Betty Wright Swim Center. And longtime Abilities United friends, Julia and David Carver Colella also donated $15,000 to be matched by another $25,000 anonymous challenge grant! So as of August 3, we are proud to announce that we have $382,458 cash in hand towards our $425,000 goal.

We still have to raise the other $10,000 to meet the $25,000 challenge grant so we invite you to help in any way you can to help us reach our goal by the end of August. If you (or any of your friends, family or your company), could help us in this final stage, we would be ever so grateful.

Your Project WaterWell donations make possible the first phase of work in August when a new roof, thermal solar panels and new boiler will be installed. The next phase will be the installation of the HVAC system, new doors to replace the 40+ year old doors that are literally falling off their tracks, and training for new hydro/aqua therapists. You can donate on the Abilities United website.

Thank you so much for your support to help us reach the Project WaterWell campaign goal. And stay tuned to learn more about the improvements being made to make the Betty Wright Swim Center more comfortable and accessible to all community members who use it.

iPad usage & app created by Abilities United therapist is designed for children for inferential thinking, communication & motor skills

Abilities United (formerly C.A.R, Community Association for Rehabilitation) now utilizes iPad apps in their therapeutic and educational services for children at risk of or diagnosed with a developmental disability. As the Coordinator of the Abilities United Therapy Clinic, Dawn Ferrer, MS, SLP, utilizes many iPad applications in her therapy sessions and has downloaded over 770 applications to research how each can be used with the special needs population. But more than just the apps themselves, Dawn finds the real therapeutic properties and power of the iPad apps is in the application of applying learning techniques by the parents and professionals so the child utilizes the app for maximum educational and therapeutic benefit.

In reviewing the apps, Dawn found that most were too complicated for her clients and they lacked that important opportunity for joint interaction with a communicative partner such as a parent, peer, or therapist. So she and her Morning2Moon Productions business partner L. Luna DeCurtis, M.A., CCC-SLP , set out to design a simple application to engage children in the thinking process and encourage active participation in learning.

Their recently released app “That’s Silly”, according to Ferrer, can be set up to address the child’s individual learning level and development. The app helps children attain flexible thinking, increase vocabulary, recognize absurdities, focus on salient features, make inferences, build imagination skills, expand and spark communication, and comprehend the whole/part of a picture. “That’s Silly” also enables the student to practice motor skills (tapping/swiping) and encourages interaction between the child, teacher, parents, therapist, etc. Therapists and families have equal access to “That’s Silly” on iTunes and at 99 cents it is completely accessible to everyone.

Dawn states, “Unlike a computer, which is intrusive and makes it harder to interact with the child, I maintain control of the iPad. I can put it up to my face so the child will interact with the iPad and me at the same time. I can put it behind me when I need the child to interact directly with me. An iPad is affordable and portable, especially compared to the other PC based software or augmentative alternative communication (AAC) devices for the special needs population.” Ferrer shares, “If the child has a question, I can instantly go to the Image Finder app and bring up the appropriate images. I can then compare one to another. For instance, if you say ‘I’m not a parrot, I’m a ferret’ but the child doesn’t know what a ferret is, I can bring up pictures of ferrets to show them. We can compare and contrast the various pictures. Having so much information literally at my fingertips makes therapy so efficient and effective because I don’t have to get up, leave the child, and return with visual aids for the child. I can maintain contact and interaction with the child during the entire therapy session.”

The children naturally interact with the “That’s Silly” application because they can use all their senses; touch, sight, oral, auditory, and in a sense, smell. It is so simple that even babies can use it. Even if they have not yet developed the ability to point, the application teaches following directions, making choices and visual scanning and tracking. Other toys are static, and the child has to manipulate the toy or the parent has to do the work. With “That’s Silly”, the child just taps the image and instantly experiences a simple cause and effect.

The application engages all senses through pictures and sounds, and allows the child to manipulate the image using touch. For instance, a child is looking at an image of a Tiger with colored polka dots. When the student touches the tiger, the polka dots wiggle and change to tiger stripes, which triggers the tiger to roar. However, for those children who find sound distracting, the mute button can turn off the accompanying music.

The “Beginning” level gets the child to start to see the whole and the individual parts by cueing the child to look at the image and follow a conversation.

“Intermediate” level allows the child to develop further by learning to make choices and expanding motor skills. The number of choices increases to three.

“Advanced” stage includes pointing and dragging functions with four choices, two on the left and two on the right. The set up allows the child to see the whole picture, tap it, and drag it.

The progress of each student is automatically tracked so the therapist can tell from the data whether or not the child is reaching their established goals. The tracking is done behind the scenes so the child does not know about it. This allows for a judgment free environment, which is conducive to the developmental analysis of the progress.

To give further awareness about the advances and uses of iPad Applications in therapy, Dawn and Luna will spoke at the IDA (Infant Development Association) in Los Gatos on Saturday July 16.

The presentation “Maximizing iPad Technology: It’s About the Technique, Not the Tool” is an interactive presentation on how to utilize the iPad and its related apps as an effective educational tool using the tried-and-true techniques of speech-language pathologists and early intervention specialists. The techniques are for young children at all developmental levels.

This presentation will also be available to the public in September 2011 at Abilities United.

Some of the uses for the application include: consulting families in Early Intervention on how to use the iPad Technology to benefit their children. Ferrer says: “Even therapists who do not want to use the new iPad need to educate themselves on the iPad and apps because parents and children will eventually ask how to use it.”

Videos showing how Ferrer uses the iPad to enhance the child’s therapy are available on YouTube

exemplary employee, team leader, role model

With a smile on his face and energy in each move, William Vela diligently stacks the Safeway salad bags in perfect rows. When a shopper stops at the vegetables, he directs his attention to her and asks if she needs help.

These are just some of the job skills William possesses that landed him his Safeway job in 2004 after just one interview. His prior job at Blockbuster, his strong work ethic, and the application and interview skills he learned through Abilities United Employment Services ensured he was hired as a courtesy clerk.

With additional help from Abilities United Employment Services, William quickly adjusted to his new Safeway job. His job coach helped him learn to bag groceries, process go-backs, serve the customer, and maintain the floor. “My coaches helped me a lot and were very important to me to learn my job. So well, that I no longer need job coaching,” states William.
He proved to be a patient and friendly employee, providing excellent customer service to the shoppers.

Safeway store manager Michelle Sukovaty gushes with praise for William, “His biggest asset is his positive attitude and personality. He exemplifies customer service and Safeway hangs our hat on customer service.” When the store needed cashiers and produce workers, Sukovaty suggested that he take the cashier test. “He was next in line for a promotion and he was ready.” Though nervous about his possible promotion, William accepted her suggestion, took, and passed the test. Sukovaty recalled how hard he worked for the promotion, “The test is not easy, it takes a lot of memorization. He put in a lot of effort.”

In addition to his promotion to cashier, William also took on new responsibilities in the produce and dairy departments where he stocks supplies and provides customer service. He glows with pride when he remembers the steps to his promotion in 2006. “My manager saw my potential. She is very happy with my work and me. She never has to tell me to do my work; she knows I’m doing it. I never call in sick, I’m always on time.” He also understands his role on the Safeway team, “They are good guys, and they help me a lot. We’re a team, we’re fast. My team members think I do a great job.” His manager, Sukovaty, confirms William’s value to Safeway, “He helps me a lot and helps me get the employees on board to do what they are supposed to do. It’s fabulous for me, I’ll tell you that. He’s a leader in the department. He’s an excellent employee and a role model for others.”

William is an excellent example of how Employment Services helps individuals become independent, tax paying citizens. With a little help to find a job and guidance to learn the necessary job skills, individuals like William become valuable members of an employer’s team. “Abilities United helped me a lot on my job. It’s a good service. I am proud of my work, my family is proud of me. They appreciate that I help pay the mortgage, insurance, and bills.”
Although William loves his Safeway job, he has big plans for his future. He will continue his education at Canada College and has a dream to become a fireman.
