What is a typical day like in My Possibilities?

Each person's day will be planned based on the goal of self sufficiency and his/her individual needs and interests. Each person will have a plan, which will be the basis for defining goals as well as what activities their day will include. In general a portion of the day will include activities that promote both self help and independence skills, as well as an education component that includes reading, writing, math health, fitness and cooking. Another core component will focus on developing job related skills through volunteering and or working in the community with a job coach.

 

As the program develops, we plan to expand our programs to include a wide variety daily activities that focus on independence, that encourages our adults with special needs develop and grown to their full potential. It is our belief that each day brings new experiences and opportunities for growth, increased independence and collaboration. The Staff and Executive Team will be working with businesses in Collin County to identify volunteer opportunities for the individuals capable of working in the community. This gives them the chance to show businesses how capable and reliable they are. Over time, we hope to see some part time or full time jobs awarded to these individuals.


My Possibilities will also partner with other non-profit organizations for possible work opportunities in Collin County (CDC, Special Care and Career Services, North Star, etc) to increase our presence in the community, as well as provide more opportunities for our adults with special needs.

Will participants receive necessary clinical services? Will these be provided on site?

Program hours are 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., Monday-Friday. Before and after program supervision is available.
