“The Arc has always been successful because the board, families, volunteers, and staff put the mission and individuals with disabilities first.”
Mike Stopulos, 1st Vice President
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
DEAR FRIENDS,As we take this opportunity to reflect on The Arc of the Quad Cities Area’s achievements over the past fiscal year (July 1, 2015 - June 30, 2016), we couldn’t be more proud of the accomplishments made by the individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities The Arc serves. For this reason, we would like to call this report Faces of The Arc because their achievements are the best evidence of our efforts.
In this report you will meet some of the Faces of The Arc that have been our inspiration, helping us lead the way to:
• Expand housing for individuals with disabilities in the Quad Cities Area.
• Work with area employers to open doors to individuals with disabilities and gain access to a vital pool of valued employees.
• Provide crucial services to families at every stage of life and expand access to community-based services that are designed to promote and support individuals interests.
You will meet Cassandra who has expanded her horizons and gaining new skills while living at her new group home.
You will meet Kim who retained his job, a source of pride and income, after his employer transferred a contract.
You will meet John who is thriving because of his newfound skills in managing his autonomy in the community.
The Arc of the Quad Cities Area is honored to be an integral part of their lives and many others. Through the Faces of The Arc, we hope you enjoy learning about how we touch the lives of individuals with intellectual and other disabilities everyday. We want to thank you for coming along on this journey and being a part of our success.

RESIDENTIAL
There is a saying, ‘home is where the heart is.’ For The Arc of the Quad Cities Area, that saying rings true for the Residential program, which provides supportive and
welcoming homes for individuals with disabilities.
With the closing of the former Heritage Fifty-Three location and the construction of five new homes, the Residential program is now providing services to an additional 40 people and others like Cassandra who love their new home, and many are working towards greater independence in the community.
Cassandra Martin is one of the Faces of The Arc. She is always quick with a smile. Cassandra moved to the new Schroeder House when it opened in August of 2015. She takes pride in her new home by assisting with chores around the house. Usually reserved, Cassandra opened up to participating in the Schroeder open house and ribbon cutting ceremony because she takes pride in her new home. Cassandra has expanded her personal interests by becoming a member of the Best Buddies planning committee, and was elected to the The Arc’s Board of Directors in 2015.
Cassandra’s future goal is to live on her own some day and become self sufficient. We are sure that with her hard work and the right balance of supports from The Arc, she will be able to achieve this goal.

WORK SERVICES

For all working people, a job is not only a source of needed income, but a source of pride and accomplishment. The Arc’s Work Services program does a good job of delivering
both.
Arc Industries is especially proud of Kim Smith, another Faces of The Arc. Kim kept his job of ten years at the Veteran’s Center. When the Veteran’s Center transferred a contract, The Arc helped Kim transition to the new company. They are pleased with Kim’s work and value him as an employee. For anyone who knows Kim the fact that he retained his job is no surprise. Kim is an extremely dedicated worker and likable person. The fact that his employer recognizes these traits is another affirmation of these qualities. We are very proud of Kim for achieving his goal.
Arc Industries provides essential business services to the local business community. Services such as secure document destruction, assembly, manufacturing material processing, and custom box manufacturing keep the individuals at Arc Industries busy every day.
Arc Industries also assists workers through activities of daily living. For example, assisting client workers in independence of transportation and accessing other activities. Arc Industries also conducted workshops to present new laws governing sheltered workshops and implemented a new curriculum for worker’s downtime.

The Community Employment Services program opens the door of opportunity for individuals with disabilities by discovering their strengths and career goals, linking them
to a job that will help them gain greater financial independence.
One of the Faces of The Arc who exemplifies that excitement is Jacob Brackevelt, whose father had worked in the restaurant business. When Jacob had the opportunity to work for Buffalo Wild Wings he was already comfortable with the work environment. He started in his position rolling silver-wear in napkins for dining area. When an opportunity became available to take on more job responsibility cleaning and maintaining the dining area, Jacob took on the new job with enthusiasm. With the aid of a job coach, Jacob learned the new skills necessary to be successful in his new job responsibilities. Jacob’s success shows that when workers are supported, optimal independence can be maintained and enhanced.
The department is currently experiencing a period of growth and expansion to meet the demands for assistance in employment services for individuals with disabilities. We are working with our community partners who value on-site training and orientation to ensure individuals maintain long-term employment. We are excited to see what opportunities await us in the upcoming year.

COMMUNITYEMPLOYMENT
Family Services, through its team of Quality Intellectual Disabilities Professionals (QIDP), seeks to maintain or increase independence of each individual to the fullest extent possible.
One of the Faces of The Arc who is navigating a path toward greater independence is LaShonta Jones. LaShonta is scheduled to graduate from Rock Island High School Special Education,
and is looking forward to transitioning into a less restrictive residential setting and obtaining a job in the community. She came to The Arc’s Residential program in July of 2015 when her home with another provider in the area shut down. From the time she became a resident with the agency, she has been vocal in responding to any opportunity to become more independent.
The Arc of the Quad Cities Area realizes and respects each individual’s desire to live life as unlimited as possible and provides the training and supports to accomplish this goal. This young lady, along with her Interdisciplinary Team, have worked together for over a year preparing her for this next chapter in her life. LaShonta is receiving intermittent support and supervision while in the community due to training for her move into a less restrictive environment.
When LaShonta expressed her desire to attend the Homecoming Dance at Rock Island High School, her QIDP helped get her a beautiful dress, corsage, obtain money to buy pictures, and provided transportation to and from the dance. LaShonta’s QIDP has been a valuable player in helping her achieve her goals. It is exciting for The Arc to watch LaShonta’s dreams become a reality.

T he Arc’s Developmental Training program has built a solid foundation of support
for individuals with disabilities, augmenting functional skills and participation in meaningful activities. The program has implemented Glidepath Curriculum that incorporates community-based activities, hands-on exploration, and self- improvement. One of the results of implementing the curriculum is an overall increase in community outings and activities.
One of the Faces of The Arc who has made strides in the Developmental Training program is Lee Clark. Lee started Developmental Training and has come out of his shell. At first withdrawn, he soon opened up due to the warm and welcoming environment, and is now well-liked and respected by his peers.
Lee showed interest in working, received training and now works at The Arc Building. Lee enjoys taking every opportunity to go into the community to take part in activities or volunteering. We are proud of Lee’s growth through the Developmental Training program.

Assistive Technology strives to improve the potential of people with disabilities to
achieve their goals through the use of adaptive devices and practices. The use of assistive technology equipment and strategies by individuals with intellectual, developmental and physical disabilities allows for more independence in completing tasks.
The Assistive Technology Services department has been helping Kay Endrizzi learn Braille through activities she enjoys. Kay is one of the Faces of The Arc because of her strides in learning new things through activities she enjoys. Another individual who is already familiar with Braille acts as peer support.
Assistive technology also gives individuals an opportunity to participate in activities of interest that they may not have been able to participate in the past. One fun way Kay has gained mastery in Braille is through adapted games like Uno and Battleship. Kay especially enjoys Boppit, a way to learn while having fun. We share Kay’s excitement in learning new skills that will enhance her horizons.

The Arc is proud of the work of Speak Out, a self-advocacy group focused on learning the skills necessary to communicate the issues that
are most important to them. Speak Out members were involved in workshops to increase their knowledge of public speaking and gave a presentation to The Arc’s staff on respectful communication with persons served by The Arc. Members also worked on taking a more active role in their annual Individualized Rehabilitation Plan (IHP) with The Arc staff and family.
One of the Faces of The Arc we are very proud of is Michael Johnson. Michael is serving The Alliance (a statewide self-advocacy group) as Vice President on the Board of Directors. Michael has co-presented at The Arc of Illinois conference in Lisle, IL (see below) and is slated to be on a panel discussion at this year’s Speak Up & Speak Out Summit in Springfield. He has been nominated to serve as a board member with the Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities. Michael also spoke to a group of John Deere employees at their aviation facility on behalf of United Way of the Quad Cities where he discussed how he has benefited from receiving services at The Arc.
Speak Out is currently working on producing a short “Sprout” film on Respect.

RESPITE
Families whose loved ones have been affected by intellectual or developmental disability often shoulder an enormous burden without relief. The Arc
believes that caregivers, when given respite, are better equipped to continue care in their home. The Arc’s Respite program provides the support that allows individuals to remain in their home, improve skills, and assist families in improving quality of life.
One of the Faces of the Arc that has benefited from Respite services is Jamie Setser. Jamie lives with his mother. When The Arc has a shutdown day, Jill cannot afford to take time off work. She relies on The Arc’s Respite Program to meet her needs by providing Jamie a safe, nurturing, and fun environment to stay. This is a smooth transition for Jamie and gives peace of mind to his mother.
The Arc made the hard decision to discontinue providing Respite services to children on October 31st 2015 due to Illinois DHS funding issues which ended the grant. Adult recreational activities continue weekly, mostly during evenings and weekends. Our emphasis is on providing inclusion in our community and broadening their leisure and cultural experiences.
The Respite program participated in Special Olympics and the first-ever Special Highland Games. And yes, all athletes sported kilts!

COMMUNITY SUPPORT
The Community Support program wraps services around individuals who live independently in the community to achieve the maximum amount of autonomy and security.
This year the Community Support program helped 20 individuals increase community engagement and independence.
One of the Faces of The Arc who has made tremendous strides is John Edwards. Before receiving services from The Arc, John was living in a rodent infested home and most of his clothing was filled with holes. His former home often had no electricity or water, making bathing and washing clothes extremely difficult. Often he did not have enough food to last the month.
John Edwards
household items. A staff member takes John grocery shopping once each week to orient him toward healthy eating habits and budgeting.
Now that essentials are in place, John is thriving in his new home and is enjoying his independence. He even went on vacation and has joined the bowling league. He is very involved in Special Olympics and participated in the first ever Special Highland Games.
Community Supports helped him move to a safe, clean home and set about purchasingew clothes, a bed, TV, chairs, and

FISCAL YEAR 16 OUTCOMES
Placed 10 individuals in community-based jobs to help them achieve their financial goals
Provided Assistive Technology to 70 individuals to improve their potential and achieve their goals through the use of technology
The Arc supported 20 individuals through the Community Supports program designed for those people who want to stay in their own home but need some assistance to be independent
The Arc expanded its Residential Program with the opening of two new group homes. An additional
home was re-opened to accommodate four individuals from a local agency who closed a group home. A total of three new homes were added to the Residential program in fiscal year 2016.
The Arc could not have achieved this goal without the generous philanthropy of many individuals listed in this report. Because of generous donors like you, twenty individuals where able to move into homes with the assistance they need to live as independently as possible.
The Arc welcomed new Executive Director, Michael Glanz who succeed-ed Kyle Rick in July of 2016.
“The Arc creates opportunities for individuals with disabilities to achieve more and believe in themselves. When I see individuals with disabilities going beyond what someone thought was their outer bounds, I know I am in the right place.”
Michael Glanz, Executive Director
