 Brown 7.2
My organization is Mosaic, which is a nonprofit organization that advocates and provides day, residential, and employment services to individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities.
Timeline events in the first quarter will include:

Recruit US Government teacher and Disability Rights Nebraska representative
Recruit volunteers including clients, guardians, and other stakeholders
Identify key staff to assist
Make flyers/announcements to notify individuals and guardians of program development to generate interest
Begin curriculum development

The program will serve individuals with intellectual and/or development disabilities currently attending Mosaic day, residential, or employment services.  The goal is to include 20 individuals per session and have a total of three sessions during the first year (must keep number relatively small to allow for appropriate staff support).  If the program proves successful, it may be worthwhile to consider opening the curriculum to individuals with IDD outside of Mosaic’s programs – this would obviously require additional grant funding or another form of sustainable funding.
