Transition: From Consumers to Producers

Dr. Tom Pomeranz details for staff, best practice approaches in transitioning classic day program services to a “work” oriented service model. Dr. Tom Pomeranz provides participants with the values and vision that drives the Day Program from activities of little meaning (peg boards, nuts and bolts, beads and string) to a content of meaningful activities that engender dignity and respect. Sensory stimulation rooms, mall herding and van therapy (as well as occasional TV Habilitation) are the hallmarks of Day Programs with which we are all too familiar. The session addresses a variety of management strategies which enable staff to feel empowered and comfortable during the period of significant change. Specific programmatic content and instructional strategies will be delineated. Suggestions for environmental engineering and staff deployment are also reviewed.
