For customers looking to make a simple deposit, withdrawal or transfer, there are two ATMs that will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Virtual services are available weekdays, and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. It’s a drastic change from the cavern- ous space the bank had occupied a block away at 1 East Avenue. Inherited in Bank of America’s 2004 acquisition of Fleet Bank, the East Avenue branch featured 15 teller locations (though in the past year it was rare when more than two were staffed) as well as a host of desks and offices for banking associates. “This goes back to what our clients are telling us,” said Colleen Matteson, Rochester market president of Bank of America. “More than 38 million Bank Colleen Matteson, Rochester market president for Bank of America, shows off the virtual financial center that opened Tuesday in Sibley of America customers are active digital Square. banking users.

HANTEK Continued from page 1

1960s as a materials handling company, with pallet racks and warehouse shelving as the crux of the company’s business. Following Jon Tobin’s arrival in 1990, the company’s focus moved toward the overhead crane and conveyor market. Tobin, Patrick’s father, purchased the company in 1996 and ran it from its Victor location until the company moved to the former General Motors fuel cell battery and storage facility in Honeoye Falls earlier this year. That move more than tripled the size of Han-Tek’s space – to 90,000 square feet. And the company has an additional 12 acres to work with. Han-Tek’s new office space features a number of identifiable areas including five conference rooms— each named for towns in Cape Cod, where the Tobin family hails from— an office area for clients and ven- dors to use, a large cafeteria where the company recently held a chili cook-off, and areas for each of the company’s three type of workers: sales, engineers and back office.

We spend more than 40 hours a week working on solutions. Unfortunately our customers have deadlines we have to hit because they’re making product to get out the door. It ends up being long nights, and having a place to hang out and sort of release a little bit is important.” As the company grows it needs to keep an eye on attracting talent, Van Thof noted, and ensuring a comfortable workplace for both millennials and their more experienced counterparts is a key part of that. “Collaborative work space, having some quiet space, having a fun space … combining all of that was important to us,” Van Thof explained. “And it was important to have a UP CLOSE & showpiece when customers walk in, to be able to show that hey, we’re working with Fortune 1,000 companies and we’re putting in state-of- the-art systems.

By VELVET SPICER Long before the nation as a whole wrapped its collective arms around deinstitutionalization and individualized care for people with developmental disabilities, a trio of local agencies was doing just that. As Rochester Rehabilitation Center Inc. this year celebrates its 100th anniversary and its sister agency, Happiness House, celebrates its 50th, the two organizations continue to transform an industry that caters to the differently abled by personalizing care and embracing new standards and technologies. A third agency, CP Rochester, also falls under the same passive parent, Ability Partners Inc. CP Rochester, while not celebrating a milestone anniversary, has been active in the community for more than 70 years. “Our goal from the beginning was to create this full array of comprehensive services for the individual, so Rochester Rehab provided services to people with mental and behavioral health challenges and needs,” said Mary Walsh Boatfi eld, who serves as CEO Provided of each of the three agencies under Happiness House’s St. Francis School is shown in 1986. the Ability Partners umbrella. “CP founded in 1919 as Rochester result, in 1945 it took on its current partnership of nonprofi ts committed Rochester and Happiness House Tuberculosis and Health Association moniker. to making a difference in the lives of are very much the same in that we to provide occupational therapy to By the 1960s, Rochester people living with disabilities. have been providing services to individuals suffering from TB.

In February 2013, Boatfield, who had been CEO of Happiness House 17 some 12 years, was approached by CP Rochester to be its new leader. She was hired as CP’s CEO through an executive staffing agreement, which allowed her to continue her work at Happiness House as well. “About a year after becoming CEO at CP Rochester our CFO and COO were overseeing financial and operations at CP and Happiness House and at that time a synergy committee was created, made up of board members from both of the organizations,” Boatfield recalled. “We looked at developing a passive parent corporation so that we could create additional efficiencies and continue to work together.” The two organizations came under the Ability Partners umbrella in 2014. Rochester Rehabilitation approached the agencies shortly thereafter and in 2016 joined the passive parent corporation, Boatfield said. Each of the three agencies remains independent, while the boards of the organizations are the Provided same. Rochester Rehabilitation Center provides services including speech, occupational, physical therapies and job placement. Ability Partners has some 750 employees and serves 5,600 individuals. “I think it was a very natural fit for “With time, the little ones we saw in preschool ended up being adults the organizations to come together and create some efficiencies in that needed services as well.” regards to administration and human resources and compliance and even — Happiness House Chief Operating Officer Darrell Whitbeck in the operations division,” Boatfield said.

The NEDP is beneficial for many people who may struggle with traditional high school, including those who have test anxiety, Meyn says. Also, the Test Assessing Secondary Completion — formerly the General Equivalency Diploma, or GED — has become more challenging for some students and now includes higher levels of math, such as trigonometry. In addition, some individuals receive an Individualized Education Program diploma from high school, which is a special education high school diploma typically awarded to individuals receiving special education services. That means those students did not receive a general diploma which is required for many employment opportunities, Meyn explains. Meyn describes the NEDP as a personalized and self-directed program where participants can choose the order in which they complete the work, as well as the timing of it. The program’s structure allows students to work inside and outside of the classroom and gives them a sense of control, she adds. “This is an exciting pathway for them to earn a high school diploma,” Meyn says. It also allows them to demonstrate their skills in functional ways, she notes. For example, students may be asked to develop a household budget and then determine if it makes more sense to rent or buy a home. They can also demonstrate skills through a job, such as highlighting computer skills that could meet technology requirements, Meyn adds. She has seen graduates finish the program more confident and with more opportunities. “This changes people’s lives,” Meyn says, noting the pride the students feel upon successful completion of the program is palpable. “That’s what it’s all about.”
