INDEPENDENCE THROUGH GRACE

We all need motivation to choose more fruits and vegetables in our diets! We discover foods that are nutritious, how to prepare these foods and the best part....eat what we cook! We talk about the choices we make like drinking water rather than sugary drinks or making sure we get enough physical activity every day. Our goal is to learn healthy habits!

The spiritual lives of our participants is an important component of our program. We want our participants to grow in their relationship with God. They will experience God’s word through music and study. We strive to be supportive of the spiritual choices and faith traditions of each participant.

This program incorporates a variety of interactions adults have within their families, among their friends and out in their communities. We will practice social skills, helping participants learn to work in a group and make friends. Creating appropriate boundaries among all relationships will be discussed and our staff will encourage conversations to help foster and refine their social skills. We role play to make the lessons come alive.

Moving to music helps improve flexibility, strength, and balance. This session also includes sports and cardio games while having fun and working together as a group. These activities also give participants the opportunity to work on their communication and social skills.
Living active - full lives includes having fun and enjoying each day. Our participants select those activities that bring them joy. This may include a walk outside, singing a favorite song, challenging a friend to a friendly board or card game, or reading a book. This will look different for each participant, but we encourage them to live their lives to the fullest.

Practicing daily living tasks, from using the phone to maintaining a living space to meal planning and cooking can be empowering and meaningful while working toward independence. Participants practice social skills, self-care skills, self-advocacy and a variety of other life skills in a small group setting.

Our participants find purpose and joy in serving others. We volunteer at a variety of locations in our community including a local church’s food pantry, homeless ministry, the elderly and ministries that are important to our participants.

Independence Through Grace (ITG) Employment Services is a hybrid of Customized Employment and traditional job development and habilitation.

Every participant will determine their goals and objectives as aligned with their IPP. The services ITG provides will be customized to meet those needs and to best support them in achieving their goals whether that is community based employment or self employment.

Knowing that no two job seekers are the same means that no two program plans are the same. We will take into consideration as many aspects of an individual’s personality, experience, natural ability and determination as possible to find the right fit for them and then help them find ways to adapt in those areas they may find challenging for the purpose of achieving their goals.

Supports include prevocational (job training), employment (job seeking/carving), and employment success and sustainability (job coaching).
