Essential First Steps for IDS Providers March 21, 2014

 Establishing a broad knowledge of opportunities for: ◦ Community Involvement ◦ Membership (formal and informal) ◦ Volunteering ◦ Learning (through instruction or by doing) ◦ Exploring and pursuing specific interests ◦ Meeting like-minded people  Looking for opportunities that are not specifically for people with disabilities  Beware of Too Much Focus on One- Time Events

 A DSP’s personal knowledge is not enough to develop good Community Integration Plans  Community Mapping is the key to high quality IDS service  Developing Community Integration Plans from “scratch” for each person referred could compromise quality of initial service

 Cataloguing opportunities is something each IDS agency needs to do  IDS agencies should be starting now to ensure as much baseline cataloguing as possible is done before anyone is referred for IDS  This is start-up activity for IDS: start-up is essential for any new service.

Priority #1:Identify existing websites with searchable information  Develop searchable in-house database for IDS staff to identify best websites to go to.  Use on-line searchable databases as models for developing your own in-house database listing specific opportunities

 Choose: ◦ Local (you'll go to a physical location) ◦ Virtual (you can do it from a computer, your home or anywhere!)  Choose: ◦ Cause Area (10 basic areas; 29 total options)  Choose: ◦ Kids, 55+, Teens, Groups  Narrow search by keyword; advanced search option

 “neighbors getting together to learn something, do something, share something…”  Enter interest area (e.g. knitting, tennis) and Washington, D.C.  Find groups and information on when/where they are next getting together

Priority #2:Develop your own searchable database  Enable key search features: ◦ By Interest Area ◦ By Neighborhood, Ward ◦ By Cost (e.g. free, minimal cost, substantial cost) ◦ Other search criteria?  Develop all relevant data entry fields to enter each IDS option into database

Priority #3:Identify how staff will contribute to the agency’s Community Mapping  What staff will take the lead now and when IDS is up and running?  How can other types of staff contribute their knowledge…now and later?  Who else can be asked to contribute information? How will they be asked? How will the information be collected?

 Basic knowledge shared initially – in staff meeting or through other “at work” opportunities. Provide electronic or paper questionnaire to be completed. On-Going Leads:  IDS Alerts by ◦ Prizes or other incentives for participation ◦ Introductions rewarded with cash

 Have staff who know the person well complete a short profile identifying range of opportunities the person would likely enjoy.  Have staff likely to be involved in IDS service practice their community mapping skills by researching and developing a list of options that match what the person is looking for.  Staff should engage in multiple strategies: ◦ Web-based research ◦ Asking other agency staff to share ideas ◦ Identifying and asking other “key informants” for leads

 Determine how agency databases will be managed ◦ Who will enter information (could be great paid work experience for someone) ◦ Who will manage/update information over time ◦ How will agency keep track of IDS participants involved in the opportunities listed in the database (to avoid too many people using one option)
