Employment was an important part of SRVS’ founding. Tyler Hampton The group of concerned parents who started SRVS Executive Director wanted a way for young adults to contribute meaning- fully to society by being part of the community, which included gainful employment. That’s why they put all their efforts into establishing a sheltered workshop.

It’s not just a few small jobs. It’s competitive paying work with some of the city’s top companies where SRVS-placed employ- ees make impactful contributions to the workforce, feel accomplished and are wholeheartedly embraced by their colleagues – while earning their own money. No doubt SRVS founders would be proud that their employment vision has come full circle.

Mike Harless From Mike Harless, Incoming Chairman of the Board:

It is an exciting time to serve as chairman of the SRVS board of directors. I am honored to help steer the agency during unprecedented challenges and change for disability services providers across the country, and at a time when the supports we provide are in immense demand. For more than five decades, SRVS has been about empowering people. It’s in the agency’s organizational DNA. The SRVS board is committed to keeping SRVS strong, viable and driven by its mission to help people live their lives in meaningful ways that bring growth and personal fulfillment. I am proud to be part of an agency where people are valued, treated with dignity and respect and ensured the opportu- nity to be part of their communities. The board eagerly looks forward to another stellar year of accomplishment as our outstanding staff of professionals deliver life impacting supports to more than 1,000 children and adults.

It prepares children for kindergarten, however, their lessons encompass more than just social and academic readiness. They receive behavioral supports, one-on-one in- struction and a loving team of teachers with years of experi- ence. PDL manager Lorraine Ford has seen the benefits of sending children to an inclusive preschool first hand. “It gives those with a disability the incentive to progress like their typi- cal peers, and those without an appreciation of diversity.” The PDL preschool started fifteen years ago and accepts chil- dren from ages 18 months to 6 years of age. PDL is a leader in the industry offering a low student-to-teacher ratio, highly qualified staff, and a curriculum based program that provides a flexibility of learning styles for the student.

14 Residents who live in SRVS homes choose their own housemates and are provided with amenities to make their home life complete as they age in place. There are a variety of living options from homes with 2-3 indi- viduals, to supported living and semi-independent set- tings. DSPs provide personal attention and care and depending on the individual’s needs, nursing services and therapeutic and behavior supports are available. There are ongoing health and wellness monitoring and Financial Case Managers who manage the funds.

The program also offers respite care to families with caregivers and is pro- vided on a short-term basis often when a caregiver is ill or out-of-town. “I don’t think people realize all the things the program does for a family,” said McBride. “We are fortunate to have the ser- vices for Justin and a good quality and de- pendable staff, but the program also frees us from having to worry about hiring a person, scheduling, and paperwork.

Community Relations

One monumental volunteer project was coordinated by the volunteers from General Electric Capital Aviation Services who transformed SRVS Sensory Garden in the fall of 2014 by constructing a gazebo and pergola. The company donated all the funds and labor. Partners included Pro-Built of Memphis, Gardens Oy Vey which provided plants, pruning, and a design to develop a more sustainable and diverse garden, and Co-Motion Studio which gifted a variety of hula-hoops. Earlier that month, Pfizer volunteers planted flowers and weeded the garden. With the gazebo and pergola, persons supported at SRVS are able to enjoy sitting outside in the garden with their friends, family and staff.
