2015-16 Independent Living Center Youth Programs Report & Resource Directory

Introduction

The enactment of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunities Act (WIOA) by bipartisan majorities in Congress revitalized and transformed the public workforce system so that it reflects the realities of the 21st century economy and meets the needs of job-seekers, workers, and employers. As part of this revitalization effort, WIOA makes significant changes to vocational rehabilitation and independent living programs across the United States. One of the major changes impacting Independent Living Centers (ILC’s) includes the addition of a core service of transition.

(Public Law 7(17) and (18) and 704; 29 USC 705(21) (B) and 796c) The term “independent living core services” means (A) information and referral services; (B) independent living skills training; (C) peer counseling (including cross‐disability peer counseling); (D) individual and systems advocacy. (WIOA 474; 404) WIOA adds a fifth category of core services for the: (i) facilitate the transition of individuals with significant disabilities from nursing homes and other institutions to home and community-based residences, with requisite supports and services; (ii) provide assistance to individuals with significant disabilities who are at risk of entering institutions so that the individuals may remain in the community; and (iii) facilitate the transition of youth with significant disabilities, who were eligible for Individualized Education Plans and have completed their secondary education or otherwise left school, to postsecondary life.

On July 22, 2014 the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) was signed into law. The final regulations were published in the Federal Register on August 19, 2016. The Independent Living and Community Access Division (ILCAD) within the Department of Rehabilitation (DOR) administers the Independent Living Program and provides technical assistance and financial support to California’s 28 Independent Living Centers (ILC’s). In an effort to provide ongoing technical assistance on new core services pending the release of additional guidance from ACL, ILCAD is working with California’s ILC’s to compile information on the work they have been doing and the programs they have developed to serve youth with disabilities (ages 14-24) in Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2015-2016. This information will be used to identify best practices, create cross-training opportunities, and promote the ILC’s amazing accomplishments to facilitate collaboration with community partners as they move to integrate this new core service into their programs.

IL History and Philosophy

Independent Living is a philosophy and a movement of people with disabilities, their families, friends, and advocates towards full inclusion of people with disabilities into society. With origins in the U.S. civil rights and consumer movements of the late 1960s, the Independent Living Movement grew out of the Disability Rights Movement. The IL Movement works at replacing the special education and rehabilitation experts’ concepts

Page 5: Independent Living Center Youth Programs Report … · Web viewIndependent Living Center Youth Programs Report & Resource Directory 2016-2017 In an effort to provide ongoing technical

2015-16 Independent Living Center Youth Programs Report & Resource Directory

of integration, normalization and rehabilitation with a new paradigm developed by people with disabilities themselves.

The Independent Living philosophy postulates that people with disabilities are the best experts on their needs, and therefore they must take the initiative, individually and collectively, in designing and promoting better solutions and must organize themselves for political power. Besides de-professionalization and self-representation, the Independent Living ideology comprises de-medicalization of disability, de-institutionalization and cross-disability (i.e. inclusion in the IL Movement regardless of diagnoses).

In the Independent Living philosophy, people with disabilities are primarily seen as citizens and only secondarily as consumers of healthcare, rehabilitation or social services. As citizens in democratic societies, the IL Movement claims, persons with disabilities have the same right to participation, to the same range of options, degree of freedom, control and self-determination in everyday life and life projects that other citizens take for granted.

In 1972, the first ILC was founded by disability activists. Today there are 28 ILC’s with 61 service locations throughout the state that offer IL services to Californian’s with disabilities. ILCs are consumer controlled, community based, cross disability, nonresidential private nonprofit agencies designed and operated within the local community by individuals with disabilities. Services are provided to individuals of all ages, with any type of disability. Independent living services are driven by the goal that people with disabilities have the same civil rights, options and control over choices in their own lives as people without disabilities. ILC’s work to eliminate many of the attitudinal, physical, and communication barriers faced by people as they work towards independence and full integration into their communities.

Results Summary

Core services provided by ILCs include Information & Referral (I&R), Advocacy (self and systems), Independent Living Skills (IL Skills), Peer Counseling, Personal Assistance Services (PA Services) (a California Core Service), and Housing resources (a California Core Service). WIOA adds the seventh core service of transition. In FY 2015-2016, 27 of 28 ILC’s report they have provided at least one of the seven core services to youth and 13 of 28 ILC’s reported that they provided all of the core services to youth. In addition, 23 of 28 centers reported providing services through dedicated youth services staff whereas the others provided services to youth through their general staff.

Over 1700 youth with disabilities were served by ILC’s in FY 2015-2016 across California. Youth have accessed a wide variety of services from ILC’s, and programs vary greatly from one ILC to another. Extended meaningful contact with youth who did not intake as

ILC Youth Services by Region

A primary function of Independent Living Centers is to empower individuals with disabilities and to support greater independence. These functions overlap with the purpose of transition planning for youth with disabilities, and it is increasinglyevident that those ILCs can play an important role in such transition services. This report discusses the programs, services, and developing initiatives of ILCs in relation to transition services for youth with disabilities.

Northern California

Disability Action Center (DAC) reports having provided peer counseling, IL skills training, Assistive Technology and/or devices, and benefits counseling and assistance with applications to youth.

Housing Services

Marin Center for Independent Living (MCIL) provided information and referral, advocacy, housing resources, peer counseling, IL skills training, personal assistant services, youth transition, and education to youth. They also report providing assistive technology, education services, and have continued to work on developing collaborative relationships with community organizations to assist them in better serving youth.

MCIL is working on two major youth initiatives: the Community Schools Initiative and the Youth Transition Resource Guide. The Community School Initiative plans to use community schools as hubs through which essential health and social supports will be offered, expanded learning opportunities will be provided, and a location for recreation/socialization beyond school hours will be offered. MCIL describes community schools as both a location and a strategy, in that it is a strategy for bringing together educators, families, and community stakeholders to attain a collective impact, and a place where the community gathers to support the education of youth, and where young people are connected to diverse experiences in the community.

The Youth Transition Resource Guide was developed by the Marin Youth Transition Coalition, a group of agencies and organizations dedicated to assisting youth with disabilities as they transition from high school to the world of work or college.

In addition to these efforts, MCIL facilitates monthly Youth Advocacy Group meetings, participates in Yo! Disabled and Proud through the California Foundation for Independent Living Centers (CFILC), and collaborate with the College of Marin, Department of Rehabilitation Transition Partnership Program (TPP), and Parent Training Information Center.

Resources for Independent Living (RIL) provided information and referral, housing resources, assistive technology, and pre-employment support.

RIL is developing a partnership and hopes to launch a program in 2017 with the Sacramento Chinese Community Services Center (SCCSC). The purpose of this organization is to assist new immigrants, refugees and other underserved individuals in the greater Sacramento area to achieve economic self-sufficiency, social empowerment, and cultural appreciation. The Center accomplishes this mission by providing quality educational, vocational, human services and health programs to these individuals. This project would place AT/Transition staff on location at the SCCSC to work with 200+ employees working in Sacramento after school programs, specifically in the area of educational and employment transitions, ADA, and Title 1 (improving the academic achievement of disadvantaged low income youth). RIL will be participating in strategic planning in February 2017 and at that time hopes to have a timeline developed to implement this project.

Dayle McIntosh Center for the Disabled (DMC) reports having provided advocacy, peer counseling, IL skills training, assistive technology, travel or transportation training and assistance, and recreational field trips to youth.

DMC is currently working to enhance existing services by conducting outreach to broaden the cross-disability representation in the youth program. They are adding an improve component to trainings to help strengthen communication and social skills, and are maintaining a Facebook page specifically for youth participants. DMC has opted to offer more IL and Advocacy training in school settings and has been providing training for the five CA Promise Districts in the Southern Coastal region of the project.

DMC has a long range goal of developing a youth drop in center in 2017. They envision it being a place where youth can socialize, play video games, do homework, and recreate together. They hope to find a location that will allow them to be open from 1pm to 9pm. They envision offering scheduled activities like IL training, peer support groups, community organizing, etc. They are considering making this an integrated program where youth with disabilities and without disabilities can take advantage of the services offered.

Independent Living Resource Center (ILRCSB) provided information and referral, advocacy, housing resources, peer counseling, IL skills training, and personal assistant services to youth.

The ILRCSB Youth Leadership Summit was held in April 2016 and directly affected 16 students who attended the event. Students heard from representatives of education and job training programs and were able to develop goals for their transition. 100 students were reached through in-class presentations about the event. ILRCSB was able to speak to 50 school staff about youth transition, and sent notices about the summit to about 250 other community partners.

ILRCSB is exploring new strategies to overcome difficulties in accessing school districts in Ventura County, which tend to be organized by city. Organizing up to 12 districts in one county has been a challenge. ILRCSB has found they have a more active presence in Santa Barbara County schools and through continued outreach to local organizations, consumers, and school staff hope to solidify their relationship.

Services Center for Independent Life (SCIL) reports that they provided peer counseling services to youth. SCIL has established a youth leadership program, and with GOOGLE is developing an individualized training program geared to teach youth computer programming. The program is scheduled to launch in December 2016, and will target youth but will be available to consumers of all ages. SCIL plans to offer this training at the ILC, but will reach out to schools and community youth organizations to determine if offering it at multiple locations will increase the numbers of consumers served through the program.
