Description:
At our Hand in Hand branch in Eau Claire, we offer fully inclusive programming that provides children from six weeks to twelve years of age - with ability and disability - with a full range of activities to learn essential life skills and promote healthy development.
Our EC4T program, offered in partnership with the Eau Claire School District, enhances our curriculum, offering four year olds the opportunity to further prepare for and master skills that will encourage academic and life success.
These job placement programs offer Chippewa Valley individuals assistance with achieving personal goals of employment.
Through the process of self-discovery, customized exploration, assessment of skills and talents, job seeking techniques, and adaptive technology, we give potential employees with disabilities the opportunity to be competitively employed.
We provide individualized work opportunities for each and every participant we provide prevocational training for. We have several work environments, group size and staff ratios that provide different experiences. We take the time to recognize a person’s needs and then accommodate by matching them to a work area that is conducive to their growth and success.
We also provide a number of enclave work sites. Enclaves are community based work experiences that allow us to provide on the job training for many of our participants with the support of REACH staff.
Participants are able to mix and match the skills they want to learn, work they want to complete, and the environment in which they accomplish these tasks. Having such a unique experience allows each employee to move towards their own level of independence and reach their goals.
