The pilot is a collaboration among the Elizabeth M. Boggs Center on Developmental Disabilities, the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) and the Arc. The Arc of Somerset County is very pleased to be the first agency in the state to pilot this exciting initiative. The Building a Person-Centered System project will take concepts contained in Person Centered Thinking training (developed and offered by the Boggs Center) and apply them both to our organization and to the delivery of our services to individuals with developmental disabilities. DDDs involvement helps to ensure that experience gained through the pilot will be linked to the larger service delivery system and will lead to a wider implementation of person-centered practices. DDD also is helping to provide a framework for change at organizational and system levels, and to create a sense of urgency about the changes in policies, practices and structures that will be needed if the Person Centered System is implemented statewide. The ultimate goal is to create a person-centered system both within The Arc of Somerset County; and in the larger system of care that serves individuals with developmental disabilities throughout New Jersey. This will truly enhance the quality of life for many individuals. Through the Building a Person-Centered System project, we will focus on outcomes in three specific areas: 1. The individuals we serve (children and adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities) 2. Our employees 3. The agency as a whole We began participating in this project by enlisting a broad cross-section of all employees from all departments to attend training and work group sessions. Parents, board members, and DDD representatives also are participating. These participants were divided into two groups Coaches and Leaders. Coaches are each charged with putting person-centered thinking tools into action and bringing their knowledge about the individuals we serve to the leadership team. After hearing from the Coaches, the Leaders determine what needs to be celebrated, shared and/or changed. Some of ideas central to this effort include: Changes in rules (policy) and practice will be driven by an understanding of what is, and what is not, working for the individuals we serve The consistent use of a set of well-defined, value-based skills will drive changes throughout the service-delivery system Using these skills in conjunction with quality management and organizational development tools will improve quality of life for the individuals we serve and increase organizational effectiveness and efficiency. Moving forward, the work and the knowledge that is gained from the trainings will be made available to all of our employees. We strongly encourage and support staff participation. We believe this will be an exciting process of enhancement for both the agency and the individuals we serve. We will continue to communicate our progress and will give everyone opportunities to provide input and to participate in the exciting possibilities offered by the use of a system that truly is person centered. STAY TUNED! The DDD staff members involved with this project are Frank Kirkland, Director, Individualized Services; Kathy Jones, County Administrator for Somerset County and Connie Jeramias, Olmstead Unit.
