Adult Development: SCOPE

SCOPE serves people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to assure that each person experiences and participates as a valued member within the community. Our approach is centered around four basic aspects of daily life:

• Domestic tasks such as laundry, cooking and cleaning.
• Recreation/Leisure activities such as movies, sports and picnics.
• Community access outings to parks, libraries and restaurants.
• Vocational activities such as recycling, computer lab, shredding, sorting and packing.

SCOPE believes that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities achieve a richer, more meaningful life and increase their learning and "normalization" potential when they actively participate in community activities that are common for everyone else.

SCOPE was designed when the focus of "community integration" for persons with developmental disabilities became the trend for transitions.

The Arc's policy on community integration is "...to actively encourage and support the development of alternatives which provide the maxiumum integration of individuals with mental retar4dation and other developmental disabilities into community integrated settings for emplyment, housing, education, recreation and other experiences that support individual lifestyles."

SCOPE believes that all people, regardless of their individual challenges, ethnicity or socioeconomic situation are to be equally valued and respected.

SCOPE believes that all people benefit from everyone's presence in the community.

SCOPE will provide the support that empowers people with developmental disabilities to:

• become employed or to perform meaningful volunteer work
• recreate in integrated settings.
• develop domestic and community access skills to their highest potential.
