Connections actively supports people with disabilities in achieving personal satisfaction through advocacy and empowerment using a person-centered practice.
Many people with disabilities need extra support in their daily lives. Connections provides that support by teaching independent living skills, assisting with employment needs, and helping people access available community resources. A CARF Three-Year Accreditation was awarded to Connections in July 2014 for Community Employment Services: Employment Supports and Job Development. This accreditation decision represents the highest level of accreditation that can be awarded to an organization and shows the organization's substantial conformance to the CARF standards. Our organization went through a rigorous peer review process that demonstrated to a team of surveyors during an on-site visit that we are committed to offering programs and services that are measurable, accountable and of the highest quality.
Connections is a private, non-profit 501(c)3, which opened in 1972 with the goal of assisting people with disabilities to live independent and productive lives in the Fargo/Moorhead community. For over forty years, Connections has been a resource center for families and people with disabilities. Today, with the variety of programs offered, Connections continues to serve each individual according to their specific needs.
Connections provides services to adults (18 years and older) with a wide range of disabilities. Individuals are referred to Connections from a County Case Manager or Vocational Rehabilitation counselor.
Enclave
This option allows an individual to be directly hired by a business, but Connections provides a job coach to support the individual on the job daily to maintain successful employment.
Through our direct hire service, a business hires an individual that receives services through Connections. The individual will receive initial job coaching as needed. In time, the job coach will fade out, but Connections will continue with regular follow up including weekly to monthly site visits.
