Division of Developmental Disabilities

Oak Leyden provides services to more than 540 adults and children in the Cook County area that are low-income clients with few other options available to them. These serve programs are Children’s Services/ Early Invention (EI), Residential Housing Services, and Community Day Services. Oak Leyden is working to increase capacity by 50% over the next three year to serve more people who are waiting to receive specialized services. Funding will be used to upgrade Oak Leyden’s technology infrastructure by updating the network and enhance supportive technology in the group homes. The residential program serves 54 individuals in twelve homes. They will move to a cloud-based information system, improve login, access, and security. Staff will be trained in the new cloud system. Oak Leyden will offer merit incentive bonuses to team members from 1% to 3% based on their job performance evaluations. Funds will support staff recruitment and training for activities that have been recently launched. This will be done in hope to reduce 2-year turnover rate by 20%. Training will ensure every DSP has the same knowledge and skills to support adults with IDD. Also, hire a Development Director and Direct of Special Project to lead their efforts in achieving their strategic initiative, outlined in their strategic plan. The main responsibility of the development director is to engage our constituents in the mission, deepening relationships, building awareness, and growing philanthropic support. Lastly, funds will be used on two image-related projects: an “Oak Leyden Yearbook” will capture participants, their guardians, and our Oak Leyden team members in their daily activities as well as individual portraits. This will be a keepsake for the participant and guardian. An “Oak Leyden Image Wall” will be done to capture the faces of their team and those who are served. The work group will be assembled consisting of participants, OL team members, and community volunteers.
