Facility for Developmentally Disabled (FDD)
Clearview is fortunate to have a well established unit which serves persons with developmental disabilities from Dodge and surrounding counties. The program offered is based on learning skills to function at the highest level possible. Individuals may call Clearview "home" for a short period of time or longer, depending on their needs. The FDD Unit may admit individuals needing short term rehabilitation in order to return to their previous placement. We also provide respite care for individuals who meet respite care criteria.
Depending on assessment, the
individual would be included in one of two program areas of
emphasis. Programs are developed and implemented by a Certified Occupational
Therapy Assistants, Activity Therapy Assistant, and
Certified Program Assistants. Persons who require consistent
structuring of their environment at all levels, which require staff
initiation and support, are usually involved in our Sensory Group.
This program encourages sensory awareness and stimulation as a means
to learn.
The focal point of our program, is the in-house Vocational Workshop. The workshop offers a variety of work experiences involving both simulated work tasks which teach skills needed to advance and participate in actual paid jobs. A company dedicated to recycling provides the workshop with a variety of jobs.
