The Barrie & District Association for People with
Special Needs
In
2002, the Barrie & District Association for People with Special
Needs (BDAPSN) completed a long and complex transition. The services
provided by the former Orillia and District Association for Community
Living were integrated into the work carried out by BDAPSN. As the
longer journey of nurturing a brand new entity begins, it was deemed
important to reflect on the experience and identify the knowledge
gained from the transition process.
In
order to capture the experience and knowledge, extensive interviews
were held with the Transition Team as well as surveying all staff. The
Ministry of Community, Family and Children's Services (MCFCS) Central
East Regional Office was invited to provide their comments.
This
document represents the collective response. It begins by identifying
the overarching strategies that guided the transition and reflects on
what went well, what didn't go so well and what would change if the
experience were repeated.
Published by the Ontario Association on Developmental
Disabilities, the report provides invaluable insight into all processes of transition and development in service organizations. |
