Strategic Plan
Strategic Plan, Part I: Conceptualizing a Business
I have a child who is artistic and throughout his life I have searched for various programs and facilities that would enhance his learning ability. Now that he is an adult there are only a few places, which offer continued life lessons for adults with autism. Most of the facilities are faced with no money or support. The government has reduced funding to the nonprofit organizations because of the poor economic conditions. There is usually not enough staff to assist an individual with his or her needs. Your loved one can be reduced to sitting in the house all day with no stimulation and nowhere to go. Then the idea came to me that these adults needed some training in how to make it in today’s society. Transitions are a large part of any school or work day, as we move to different activities or locations (Hume, K, 2010).
Vernon’s Bright Minds Adult Daycare Center-For Adults with Autism is the new organization I am introducing into the marketplace. In today’s society there are many families facing the dilemma of placing a child with autism who has become an adult in a comfortable setting while he or she has to work. Individuals with Autism need to have the opportunity to mingle with other people and take part in challenging activities (Rappeport, 2011). My daycare for these adults will provide different services, including improvement on his or her reading, writing, and social skills, therapeutic classes, cultural activities as well as a place to go to socialize with other people.
Mission Statement
Vernon’s Bright Minds Adult Daycare Center-For Adults with Autism mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment founded upon caring, respect and compassion toward each individual’s abilities and disabilities.
Vision Statement
Vernon’s Bright Minds Adult Daycare Center’s vision is to become the leading service provider of an adult daycare service for Autism in the world. Helping people with disabilities
