Program Description Page 16 of 17 Agreement # C2805010 C. List the total number of individuals with developmental disabilities that wiD be served by this project. Our estimates suggest that with our Community Inclusion Partnership Consortium, we will have the capabilities to market this program to approx. 4500 potential participants in San Mateo County. This number was reached by adding the total number of clients served by the Golden Gate Regional Center. PARCA, KAINOS and Redwood City's Accessible Recreation Activities Program. We expect to actively serve 30 participants during our pilot program. After necessary training is established and the system overall flows smoothly, we will have the capacity to serve people with disabilities just as we serve our mainstream recreation participants. Depending on class interest, some programs may fill up. but a waiting list would be established on a first come, first serve basis. D. List of Measurable Outcomes - Increase Inclusion in local parks and recreation programs a) Determine by reviewing 8AF ARI Enrollment Data - Increase personal recreation choices for people with disabilities a) Determine by asking participant's comfort with their choices on the end of the year survey - Increase independence for people wI disabilities pursuing leisure activities a) Determine by asking family members & partnering agencies in an end of the year survey if they believe this goal was met for the community. Increase people with disabilities self-esteem & social skills through mentoring a) Determine by asking participants to self-evaluate their benefits of inclusion, in addition to surveying close family members, group home managers and other individuals who consistently observe the participant. Request for them to document any observed change in personality. Provide rewarding volunteer opportunities for the general public a) Survey volunteers after the complete their mentoring project or once every three months during the pilot year to evaluate their feelings about their role in the program. Additionally, document the number of volunteers active and compare it to previous numbers to determine if more people are volunteering with this program. Provide as a model for other cities and agencies who wish to pursue full-inclusion a) After one year pilot program, send out marketing materials to other cities and agencies that might have an interest in starting the program. Determine if model is successful by the number of agencies that wish to follow our plan. Create stronger alliances and partnerships with neighboring cities and agencies a) Prior to starting this project, we will survey neighboring cities and agencies to evaluate how they perceive information, referrals and relations with each other. At the end of one year, we will re-send the survey to see if they perceive infonnation to be more readily available, have seen more successful referrals and overall have a better relationship with other professionals in the field of Recreation.
