Meet Krissy, who has been attending the CCAWL Adult Day Services and Vocational Habilitation as part of her Adult Day Services experience since April 2025. Affectionately known there as "the OG," Krissy was CCAWL's first Adult Day Services participant and has continued to grow in her role ever since.

Over the past 16 months, Krissy has assisted with a variety of tasks, including making soaps and candles, washing and labeling eggs, and cleaning. More recently, she has added Fridays to her schedule when she's not working at her part-time job.

Today, Krissy helps fill food and water bowls, wash and sanitize dishes, and deliver meals to the dogs in the kennels. She says she loves the work she does at CCAWL, and the staff there are thrilled with the progress she has made.

Krissy has become a wonderful example for other participants and has been recognized as a leader within the group. We are so proud of her growth, dedication, and the confidence she continues to build through meaningful community experiences. Congratulations, Krissy! 🐾💙

Our team recently improved safety and accessibility for one of the individuals we support by installing non-slip strips on their wheelchair ramp. A big thank you to Eric, our SSA Manager, Melissa, one of our dedicated SSAs, and Joe, our Medicaid Manager, for taking the initiative to help create a safer path into their home. 🏠

At the heart of what we do is helping people live their best, most independent, and safest lives. Whether it's coordinating services, advocating for resources, improving home safety, or connecting individuals with social activities, community events, clubs, and other opportunities to build meaningful relationships, our team is committed to making a positive impact every day. 💙

🔦 Staff Spotlight: Kyle Thompson, Behavior Support Coordinator

This week we're shining the spotlight on Kyle, who has been with CCBDD for three years!

What is something people might be surprised to learn about your work?

"A lot of my focus is on what people need and not how to change their behavior. This requires questions and listening first. When effective, I hope to foster a better sense of understanding the person, from which plans and strategies can be developed with the help of the person I am working with and their team."

What is something you enjoy doing outside of work?

"I love to create and read stories for my family. I hope they learn that every person's life is a story worth telling and that every story has value. It's a fun way to spark imagination while teaching empathy and respect for others."

Thank you, Kyle, for your commitment to listening, understanding, and supporting the people we serve.
