ODC is always excited to share the news when someone gets a job.  Here’s a great story from our team in the “Northwoods” in Minocqua…

Heather McKellips of Wisconsin Rapids was recently elected to the ODC Board of Directors for a three-year term.

As the school year ends across the country, this year things are a little different….or a lot different. But that didn’t stop the Project SEARCH team at Marshfield Clinic Health Systems from developing a unique send-off to celebrate the achievements of the Project SEARCH interns.

When COVID happened, Matt’s entire routine changed, as, for a period of time, he could no longer come to ODC’s facility the way he had in the past.

One of ODC’s employment coordinators new it was important for her participants to continue to work on their work skills, even though they aren’t at work. Virtual offering of “Skills to Pay the Bills” was born.

Today ODC lost an incredible member of our team. We are all so saddened at the passing of Jen Blum.

The words “community” and “connect” have been featured in many of ODC’s materials over the past few years, and with good reason. ODC has been transforming from a “place” where people with disabilities go to receive services to a “resource” that provides individuals with disabilities the opportunities and support they need to connect to their communities in both work and life.

Stevens Point Day Services participants had the privilege to visit the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum last week.

What do you do on a cold winter day? How about a good read?

When a family can no longer care for an individual with Autism, who will? A Marshfield family founded an organization to help bring a concept to the community to answer that question.

ODC has been filled with holiday cheer!
