PART V, SECTION B, LINE 3: IN AN EFFORT TO DETERMINE THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THIS COMMUNITY, WE DESIGNED AND DISTRIBUTED A SURVEY TO 26 AGENCIES, GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND LEGISLATORS, REQUESTING THEIR FEEDBACK. THE 26 AGENCIES WERE: ASSOCIATION FOR THE BETTERMENT OF CITIZENS WITH DISABILITIES, ARC OF NEW JERSEY, NJ DIVISION OF DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES, NJ DIVISION OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, NJ COUNCIL ON DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES, NORTHERN NEW JERSEY MATERNAL CHILD HEALTH CONSORTIUM, CENTRAL JERSEY FAMILY HEALTH CONSORTIUM, FIVE NJ LEGISLATORS, LADACIN NETWORK, UNITED CEREBRAL PALSY OF HUDSON COUNTY, BANCROFT, CEREBRAL PALSY LEAGUE, CEREBRAL PALSY OF NORTH JERSEY, PASSAIC COUNTY ELKS CEREBRAL PALSY TREATMENT CENTER, PROJECT FREEDOM, SPECTRUM FOR LIVING, SPINA BIFIDA RESOURCE NETWORK, YOUTH CONSULTATION SERVICE, DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES CENTER AT MORRISTOWN MEDICAL CENTER, ELIZABETH M. BOGGS CENTER ON DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES, AND NEW JERSEY ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY ADVISORS. MATHENY SCHOOL & HOSPITAL, INC. PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7: WE ARE NOT UNILATERALLY ABLE TO ADDRESS ALL THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA. HOWEVER, WE CONTINUE TO MEET WITH GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND OTHER GROUPS SERVING PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IN ORDER TO RESOLVE THE NEEDS THAT ARE NOT MET.AMONG THE UNMET NEEDS MATHENY SHOULD ATTEMPT TO ADDRESS:- EXPANSION OF GROUP HOMES IF SUFFICIENT FUNDING CAN BE OBTAINED. WE CURRENTLY HAVE A FIVE-YEAR PLAN, IN COORDINATION WITH THE STATE OF NJ TO BUILD 14 GROUP HOMES FOR BOTH ADULTS AND CHILDREN. IT APPEARS THAT THE FUNDING WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO ENABLE US TO DO THAT.- EXPANSION OF DENTAL SERVICES AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. AT THE PRESENT TIME, THAT DOES NOT SEEM POSSIBLE IN THE NEAR FUTURE, DUE TO LACK OF FUNDING AND RESOURCES.- SATELLITE OUTPATIENT CLINIC FOR PEOPLE WHO FIND IT DIFFICULT TO TRAVEL TO THE MAIN LOCATION. ALSO DOES NOT SEEM POSSIBLE IN THE NEAR FUTURE, DUE TO LACK OF FUNDING AND RESOURCES.- EXPANDED DAY PROGRAMMING AND RECREATION OPTIONS. WE ARE EQUIPPED TO DO THIS, BUT, AGAIN, IT IS DEPENDENT UPON THE FUNDING THAT IS AVAILABLE. WORKING WITH ABCD (ALLIANCE FOR BETTERMENT OF CITIZENS WITH DISABILITIES) AND STATE AGENCIES, WE ARE EXPLORING THE OPTIONS.- SERVICE COORDINATION. THIS IS BEING DONE WHEREVER POSSIBLE. OUR TRANSITION NURSING SERVICE, IN COLLABORATION WITH MORRISTOWN MEDICAL CENTER, IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THIS. PART I, LINE 3C: MATHENY HAS BOTH A MEDICAL AND DENTAL SLIDING FEE SCHEDULE FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT HEALTHCARE INSURANCE. PART I, LINE 7: THE AMOUNTS REPRESENT REVENUE FROM OUR GROUP HOMES AND THE RELATED EXPENSES FOR THE GROUP HOMES AND RELATED BENEFITS. LINE H RESEARCH ARE THE EXPENSES FOR RESEARCH DEPARTMENT. THE DENOMINATOR USED TO CALCULATE PERCENTAGES OF EXPENSES INCLUDES TOTAL EXPENSES LESS BAD DEBT. PART I, LINE 7: MATHENY IS A SPECIALIZED HOSPITAL SERVING THE LONG-TERM CARE NEEDS OF CHILDREN AND ADULTS WITH MULTIPLE AND COMPLEX DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES. THE POPULATION OF INDIVIDUALS SERVED IS UNIQUE AND VERY UNLIKE THOSE OF AN ACUTE CARE FACILITY. THE COMMUNITY WE SERVE IS NOT BASED UPON OUR GEOGRAPHICAL AREA, BUT RATHER BASED UPON THE POPULTION OF PEOPLE WE SERVE WITH DISABILITIES AND THIER FAMILIES THROUGHOUT A GREATER REGION. THIS IS WHY THE OVERALL COMMUNITY BENEFIT PERCENTAGE WILL NOT BE COMPARABLE TO OTHER HOSPITALS. PART III, LINE 4: THE CENTER CLOSELY MONITORS THE EXTENSION OF CREDIT TO ITS CUSTOMERS WHILE MAINTAINING ALLOWANCES FOR POTENTIAL CREDIT LOSSES. ON A PERIODIC BASIS THE CENTER EVALUATES ITS ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ESTABLISHES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS, BASED ON A HISTORY OF PAST WRITE-OFFS AND COLLECTIONS AND CURRENT CREDIT CONSIDERATIONS. THERE WAS NO BAD DEBT EXPENSE CALCULATED FOR THIS YEAR. PART III, LINE 9B: MOST OF THE ORGANIZATIONS FUNDING COMES FORM MEDICAID/MEDICARE AS WELL AS SENDING SCHOOL DISTRICTS. SINCE THERE IS TYPICALLY NO BAD DEBT EXPENSE, THERE IS NO WRITTEN DEBT COLLECTION POLICY. PART VI, LINE 2: WE CONTINUALLY INTERACT WITH OTHER AGENCIES IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY SERVING PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. AMONG THOSE AGENCIES ARE OTHER PRIVATE NON-PROFITS AS WELL AS GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. SOME EXAMPLES: ALLIANCE FOR THE BETTERMENT OF CITIZENS WITH DISABILITIES, ARC OF NEW JERSEY, CEREBRAL PALSY OF NEW JERSEY, NJ DIVISION OF DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES AND THE NJ DIVISION OF CHILDREN & FAMILIES.MATHENY'S COMMUNITY IS NOT THE GEOGRAPHICAL AREA WE SERVE. RATHER, OUR COMMUNITY IS BASED UPON THE POPULATION THAT WE SERVE OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND THEIR FAMILIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY AND SOMETIMES REACHING OUT INTO OTHER STATES. IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY, COLLABORATING WITH OTHER AGENCIES, TO ASSESS THE NEEDS OF THESE CONSTITUENTS AND TO HELP MEET THE NEEDS OF AS MUCH OF THIS POPULATION AS POSSIBLE. WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE CANNOT TREAT EVERYONE, BUT WE CAN PROVIDE INFORMATION, RESOURCES, REFERRALS AND TRAINING IN AN EFFORT TO HELP THOSE WHO HAVE NOWHERE ELSE TO TURN.IN AN EFFORT TO DETERMINE THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THIS COMMUNITY, WE DESIGNED AND DISTRIBUTED A SURVEY TO 26 AGENCIES, GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND LEGISLATORS, REQUESTING THEIR FEEDBACK. RESPONSES WERE RECEIVED FROM 42% (11) OF THE RECIPIENTS (SEE BELOW). WHEN ASKED, "DO YOU FEEL THAT THERE ARE PRESSING HEALTH CONCERNS OR SERVICE NEEDS FOR PERSONS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES THAT ARE NOT ADEQUATELY MET BY EXISTING COMMUNITY RESOURCES?", 100% OF THE RESPONDENTS SAID "YES". FOLLOWING ARE SOME OF THOSE UNMET NEEDS.UNMET NEEDS - MEDICAL AND DENTAL SERVICES, INCLUDING GYNECOLOGIC SERVICES, FACE-TO-FACE CARE MANAGEMENT SERVICES AND SPECIALIZED TRAINING FOR NURSE PRACTITIONERS WHO COULD PROVIDE MUCH-NEEDED PRIMARY CARE HEALTH SERVICES. - LIVING QUARTERS FOR ADULTS, WHO "SHOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHOOSE WHERE THEY WANT TO LIVE, EITHER IN A DEVELOPMENTAL CENTER OR A COMMUNITY." - AVAILABILITY OF ADAPTIVE EQUIPMENT AND MEDICAL DEVICES. THIS IS SEEN AS PARTICULARLY CRITICAL FOR CHILDREN, WHO MAY OUTGROW SOME DEVICES THAT PARENTS CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE. - ACCESS TO FACILITIES. - DAY PROGRAMMING. - TRANSPORTATION. - RECREATION. - SERVICE COORDINATION AND FOLLOW-UP POST ACUTE CARE.WHICH UNMET NEEDS SHOULD MATHENY ATTEMPT TO ADDRESS? - EXPANSION OF GROUP HOMES IF SUFFICIENT FUNDING CAN BE OBTAINED. - INITIATION OR EXPANSION OF TRAINING OF NURSE PRACTITIONERS. - EXPANSION OF DENTAL SERVICES AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. - SATELLITE OUTPATIENT CLINIC FOR PEOPLE WHO FIND IT DIFFICULT TO TRAVEL TO THE MAIN LOCATION. - EXPANDED DAY PROGRAMMING AND RECREATION OPTIONS. - SERVICE COORDINATION.NEEDED SERVICES IN ORDER OF SEVERITY OF UNMET NEED. - PRIMARY HEALTH CARE FOR PERSONS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES. - SERVICES TARGETING LOW-INCOME AND MINORITY INDIVIDUALS. - EMPLOYMENT OR OCCUPATIONAL TRAINING FOR ADULTS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES. - RESIDENTIAL SERVICES FOR ADULTS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES. - RESIDENTIAL SERVICES FOR CHILDREN WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES. - PHYSICAL, OCCUPATIONAL OR OTHER THERAPIES FOR PERSONS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES. - ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY SERVICES. - RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITY FOR PERSONS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES. - EARLY INTERVENTION OR OTHER IN-HOME THERAPEUTIC SERVICES FOR CHILDREN WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES.OTHER FACILITIES OR ORGANIZATIONS THAT PROVIDE SERVICES SIMILAR TO ONE OR MORE OF THOSE OFFERED BY MATHENY. - BANCROFT - ARC OF NEW JERSEY - SPECTRUM FOR LIVING - PASSAIC COUNTY ELKS CEREBRAL PALSY CENTER - LADACIN NETWORK - MORRISTOWN MEDICAL CENTER DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES CENTER - CHILDRENS SPECIALIZED SERVICES - ARC OF MONMOUTH COUNTY AMBULATORY CARE CENTER - ARC OF MERCER HEALTHCARE CENTER - ADVANCING OPPORTUNITIES - EASTERN CHRISTIAN CHILDREN'S RETREAT - ALTERNATIVES - CEREBRAL PALSY OF NEW JERSEY - NEW JERSEY INSTITUTE FOR DISABILITIES - PG CHAMBERS SCHOOL - UNITED CEREBRAL PALSY OF NEW JERSEY - JARDINE ACADEMY - ALLIES - CEREBRAL PALSY OF MIDDLESEX COUNTY - OCEAN HOUSING ALLIANCE - DEVEREAUXTHINKING ABOUT THE RANGE OF SERVICE PROVIDERS IN NEW JERSEY, ARE THERE NEEDS THAT YOU THINK COULD BE ADDRESSED PARTICULARLY WELL BY COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN MATHENY AND SOME OF THOSE OTHER PROVIDERS? - MEDICAL SERVICES ADVOCACY - MEDICAL COORDINATION - "OTHER AGENCIES COULD BENEFIT FROM MATHENY'S MODEL OF CARE." - "MATHENY NEEDS TO BECOME MORE VISIBLE IN THE GENERAL MEDICAL COMMUNITY AS A UNIQUE RESOURCE. MATHENY COULD PROVIDE GRAND ROUNDS AND INTRODUCE PHYSICIANS AND NURSES TO BEST PRACTICES IN COMMUNICATING WITH PERSONS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES."DO YOU FEEL THAT HUMAN SERVICE AND HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT THE SERVICE NEEDS OF PEOPLE WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES IN NEW JERSEY IN ORDER TO EFFECTIVELY PLAN AND IMPLEMENT SERVICES?36% YES; 64% NOWHAT IS LACKING ON THE PART OF HUMAN SERVICES AND HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS WITH REGARD TO THE SERVICE NEEDS OF PEOPLE WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES? - "THERE IS A GENERAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE COMPLEXITY OF THE ISSUES FACED BY THOSE WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES AND THAT THESE ARE LIFELONG STRUGGLES. THERE NEEDS TO BE GREATER AWARENESS OF WHAT FAMILIES DEAL WITH ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS." - "THERE IS AN ASSUMPTION THAT ALL PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES HAVE SIMILAR NEEDS, AND THERE IS LITTLE UNDERSTANDING OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF DISABILITIES AND HOW THERE MAY BE SPECIAL NEEDS, I.E., A CHILD WITH AUTISM MAY NOT HAVE THE SAME MEDICAL, PHYSICAL, COGNITIVE OR SOCIAL NEEDS AS SOMEONE WITH SPINA BIFIDA." - "ACUTE CARE HOSPITALS HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT THE NEEDS OF PEOPLE WITH INTELLECTUAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES AND CERTAINLY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO TAKE THEIR UNIQUE NEEDS INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN PROVIDING CARE." - "COORDINATED CARE SEEMS TO BE LACKING." - "THE MEDICAL PROFESSION IS GEARED TO ACUTE, RATHER THAN CHRONIC, ILLNESSES. EVEN WITHIN CHRONIC ILLNESSES, THE MOST FREQUENTLY DISCUSSED ARE DIABETES, HYPERTENSION AND OTHER MEDICAL CONDITIONS. CHILDREN AND ADULTS WITH LIFELONG DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES ARE OFTEN WITHOUT MEDICAL CHAMPIONS OR EVEN HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS WHO TAKE AN INTEREST IN THEIR COMPLEX NEEDS." - "THE MOVEMENT OF INDIVIDUALS FROM DEVELOPMENTAL CENTERS (INSTITUTIONS) NEEDS TO BE ACCELERATED, AND ADEQUATE FUNDING NEEDS TO BE GIVEN TO PROVIDERS TO ENSURE AN ONGOING ABILITY TO TREAT THIS VULNERABLE POPULATION."MATHENY RECOGNIZES THAT IT CANNOT PROVIDE CARE FOR THE ENTIRE DISABLED POPULATION. WE DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO ENSURE THAT FUTURE HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS UNDERSTAND HOW TO CARE AND TREAT PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES. AS PART OF THAT EFFORT, WE HAVE ESTABLISHED A PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES TRAINING FOR MEDICAL AND DENTAL STUDENTS FROM UMDNJ, WHO ROTATE THROUGH MATHENY ON A WEEKLY BASIS. MATHENY ALSO HAS INTERNSHIP AND TRAINING PROGRAMS WITH MORE THAN 100 COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES.HELPED BY A GRANT FROM THE ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION'S NEW JERSEY HEALTH INITIATIVES PROGRAM, WE HAVE DEVELOPED, TESTED AND IMPLEMENTED A MODEL FOR IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF TRANSITIONAL CARE FOR PERSONS WITH CHRONIC HEALTH ISSUES AND MEDICAL COMPLEXITIES ASSOCIATED WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES. OUR PARTNERS IN THIS PROJECT ARE MORRISTOWN MEDICAL CENTER IN MORRISTOWN, NJ; THE ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL IN NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ; AND NEWTON MEDICAL CENTER IN NEWTON, NJ. IN ADDITION TO IMPROVING THE CARE OF OUR PATIENTS WHEN TRANSFERRED TO ACUTE CARE HOSPITALS AND REDUCING THE NUMBER OF READMISSIONS, THIS PROJECT HAS EDUCATED STAFF MEMBERS AT ACUTE CARE HOSPITALS SO THEY WILL BE MORE COMFORTABLE TREATING PATIENTS WITH DISABILITIES. IT HAS NOT ONLY HELPED MATHENY PATIENTS BUT HAS ALSO BENEFITED PATIENTS WITH DISABILITIES WHO ARE ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITALS FROM FAMILIES AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS. NUMBERS OF READMISSIONS WITHIN 30 DAYS OF DISCHARGE FROM THE ACUTE CARE SETTING, AS WELL AS NUMBERS OF EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS WITHIN 30 DAYS OF DISCHARGE, SERVE AS A PRIMARY OUTCOMES MEASURE OF THE TRANSITIONAL CARE PROGRAM. IN THE FIRST 10 MONTHS OF THE PROGRAM, THE HOSPITAL READMISSION RATE DROPPED TO 7.1% FROM 25.05%.ORGANIZATIONS CONTRIBUTING TO THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESMENT SURVEY: - ALLIANCE FOR THE BETTERMENT OF CITIZENS WITH DISABILITIES, NEW JERSEY - THE ARC OF NEW JERSEY - THE CENTRAL PALSY LEAGUE - CEREBRAL PALSY OF NEW JERSEY - MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH CONSORTIA, NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH - NEW JERSEY ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY PROVIDERS - NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES - NEW JERSEY OFFICE OF CHILD HEALTH SERVICES, DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES - PASSAIC COUNTY ELKS CEREBRAL PALSY TREATMENT CENTER - SPINA BIFIDA RESOURCE NETWORK - UNITED CEREBRAL PALSY OF HUDSON COUNTY PART VI, LINE 3: MATHENY'S TYPICAL OUTPATIENT HAS INSURANCE COVERAGE THROUGH NJ MEDICAID. THESE PATIENTS OFTEN HAVE PRIMARY COVERAGE THROUGH MEDICARE. AT TIMES SOME ALSO MAY HAVE A PRIMARY COMMERCIAL INSURANCE; BUT THIS IS NOT TYPICAL.IF IT IS DISCOVERED THAT A PATIENT HAS NO INSURANCE COVERAGE WHATSOEVER, THEY WOULD BE DIRECTED TO THE APPROPRIATE SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCY FOR SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE. THERE ARE A FEW PATIENTS THAT DO NOT HAVE DENTAL COVERAGE AND ONLY HAVE PRIVATE/COMMERCIAL MEDICAL INSURANCE AND/OR MEDICARE. MEDICARE DOES NOT COVER DENTAL SERVICES. WE WOULD THEN OFFER AN OPTION TO PAY FOR SERVICES BASED ON SPECIFIC FINANCIAL CRITERIA AND A SLIDING FEE SCHEDULE. IF A PATIENT MEETS THE ELIGIBILITY OF THE SLIDING FEE SCHEDULE, THEY WOULD BE PLACED IN THE APPROPRIATE SCHEDULE TO PAY FOR SERVICES. THESE PATIENTS PROVIDE FINANCIAL DOCUMENTATION THAT STAFF IN THE FINANCE/BILLING DEPARTMENT VIEWS AND SHE THEN MAKES THE DETERMINATION FOR ELIGIBILITY.MATHENY'S OUTPATIENT BILLING FINANCIAL POLICY INFORMS PATIENTS OF THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR PAYMENT OPTION THROUGH MATHENY'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. PART VI, LINE 4: MATHENY'S COMMUNITY IS NOT THE GEOGRAPHICAL AREA WE SERVE. RATHER, OUR COMMUNITY IS BASED UPON THE POPULATION THAT WE SERVE OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND THEIR FAMILIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY AND SOMETIMES REACHING OUT INTO OTHER STATES. IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY, COLLABORATING WITH OTHER AGENCIES, TO ASSESS THE NEEDS OF THESE CONSTITUENTS AND TO HELP MEET THE NEEDS OF AS MUCH OF THIS POPULATION AS POSSIBLE. WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE CANNOT TREAT EVERYONE, BUT WE CAN PROVIDE INFORMATION, RESOURCES, REFERRALS AND TRAINING IN AN EFFORT TO HELP THOSE WHO HAVE NOWHERE ELSE TO TURN.COMMUNITY SERVICESMATHENY STAFF MEMBERS PROVIDE NEW JERSEY STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION APPROVED ACADEMICALLY-BASED SPECIAL EDUCATION ASSISTANCE THROUGH A PROGRAM CALLED MATHENY SOLUTIONS FOR SCHOOLS. IN ADDITION TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES WE PROVIDE, WE ALSO TRY TO KEEP PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES AND THEIR FAMILIES UP-TO-DATE AND KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT OTHER ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS THAT ARE OCCURRING IN THE COMMUNITY. FOR EXAMPLE, WE MIGHT MAKE THEM AWARE OF WORKSHOPS FOR PARENTS OF CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS OR MUSICAL PRESENTATIONS FOR THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED OR WORKSHOPS ON PREVENTING DRUG ABUSE.WHEN MATHENY THERAPISTS AND EDUCATORS GO INTO PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICTS, THEY NOT ONLY TEACH THE STUDENTS, BUT THEY ALSO TRAIN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL STAFF, SO THAT THERAPIES AND OTHER TOOLS CAN BE USED WHEN THE MATHENY STAFF IS NOT ON DUTY. AS ONE PUBLIC SCHOOL DIRECTOR OF SPECIAL SERVICES SAYS OF THE MATHENY PHYSICAL THERAPIST ON HER STAFF: "SHE'LL TEACH THE TEACHER THE SKILLS THAT SHE'S TEACHING INDIVIDUALLY, AND THAT CONTINUES ALL DAY. SHE'S NOT JUST WORKING WITH THE CHILD; SHE'S WORKING WITH THE TEACHERS AND THE AIDES."OUR DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY SERVICES BELONGS TO COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS HEALTHIER SOMERSET, AN ORGANIZATION WHOSE GOAL IS TO IMPROVE HEALTH OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE AND WORK IN SOMERSET COUNTY; SOMERSET COUNTY COALITION FOR CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES; AND CHILD & MATERNAL HEALTH NETWORK, WHICH IS DEDICATED TO IMPROVING ACCESS FOR WOMEN AND THEIR CHILDREN TO HEALTHCARE IN THE COUNTY.MATHENY SOCIAL MEDIA MAKES PEOPLE AWARE OF ISSUES AND DEVELOPMENTS AFFECTING PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. FOR EXAMPLE, RECENT FACEBOOK POSTS INCLUDED: A REPORT ON A BILL TO PREVENT DISCRIMINATION AGAINST PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IN NEED OF TRANSPLANTS; AN ARTICLE ON NEW JERSEY PARENTS' REACTION TO NEWS THAT THE AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION WAS PROPOSING A NARROWER DEFINITION OF AUTISM; A REPORT ON HOW ADVOCATES WERE PUSHING FOR MORE MONEY FOR THE SPECIAL NEEDS HOUSING TRUST FUND.INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITIES:WHEN POSSIBLE, WE HELP IMPROVE SERVICES AND KNOWLEDGE ABOUT CARING AND TREATING FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES IN OTHER COUNTRIES. MATHENY IS ALSO FREQUENTLY VISITED BY GROUPS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES, SEEKING TO LEARN ABOUT THE NEWEST TECHNIQUES FOR THE CARE AND TREATMENT OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.REHABILITATION TECHNOLOGY/SEATING & MOBILITY CLINIC:MATHENY'S REHABILITATION TECHNICIANS ARE TRAINED AND CERTIFIED IN THE SKILLS NECESSARY TO EVALUATE AND RESOLVE SEATING NEEDS OF PEOPLE IN WHEELCHAIRS BY RECOMMENDING AND PROVIDING THE APPROPRIATE EQUIPMENT, IN COLLABORATION WITH THERAPISTS - EITHER MATHENY'S THERAPISTS OR THERAPISTS IN OTHER FACILITIES THAT WE SERVE. OUR REHAB TECHNICIANS AND THERAPISTS SEEK TO EMPOWER INDIVIDUALS, THEIR FAMILIES AND CAREGIVERS WITH THE INFORMATION NECESSARY TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS ABOUT ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY.ONE RECENT EXAMPLE OF HOW OUR REHAB TECHNICIANS AND THERAPISTS REACH OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED A YOUNG WOMAN WITH A CONDITION CALLED FIBRODYSPLASIA OSSIFICANS PROGRESSIVA (FOP), A RARE GENETIC DISORDER CHARACTERIZED BY THE ABNORMAL GROWTH OF BONE IN SOFT TISSUE. THE DISEASE PROGRESSIVELY DISABLES THE BODY AS NEW BONE FUSES JOINTS AND CREATES IMMOBILITY. THE YOUNG WOMAN WITH THIS CONDITION WAS GETTING READY TO ENTER COLLEGE, AND SHE AND HER PARENTS WERE HOPING THERAPISTS AND REHAB TECHNICIANS AT MATHENY COULD EVALUATE HER FOR ADAPTIVE EQUIPMENT THAT MIGHT MAKE HER LIFE A LITTLE EASIER. SINCE HER MOBILITY WAS EXTREMELY LIMITED, MATHENY RECOMMENDED A POWER WHEELCHAIR WITH A STANDING FEATURE. THE RESULT IS THAT SHE IS ABLE TO NAVIGATE AROUND CAMPUS AND LIVE AS NORMAL A LIFE AS POSSIBLE. MEMBERS OF OUR REHABILITATION TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT REGULARLY VISIT PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN NEW JERSEY, IN SUCH CITIES AND COMMUNITIES AS DIVERSE AS NEWARK, CRANFORD AND BEDMINSTER. THEY CONSULT WITH THERAPISTS WORKING IN THOSE SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO DECIDE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO EQUIPMENT FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES. SAYS A PHYSICAL THERAPIST IN THE NEWARK SCHOOL DISTRICT: "IT IS A PLEASURABLE WORKING EXPERIENCE, NOT ONLY FOR ME, BUT THE TEACHING STAFF, TOO."THESE ARE JUST TWO ILLUSTRATIONS OF HOW WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE EXPERTISE TO HELP PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY WITH SEATING AND MOBILITY ISSUES. IN ADDITION TO WORKING WITH FAMILIES, WE PROVIDE EVALUATIONS, SERVICE AND ADVICE TO SCHOOLS, DEVELOPMENTAL CENTERS AND RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.OUTREACH TO SCHOOLS:IN AN EFFORT TO EDUCATE THE GENERAL PUBLIC ABOUT THE CHALLENGES FACED BY PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND TO BREAK DOWN THE BARRIERS BETWEEN ABLE-BODIED STUDENTS AND STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES, WE VISIT AND COLLABORATE WITH PUBLIC AND INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS ON A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS. FOR EXAMPLE, WE VISITED AN EIGHTH GRADE CLASS IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL IN HUNTERDON COUNTY. THE ABLE-BODIED STUDENTS PLAYED ADAPTED VERSIONS OF HOCKEY AND BASKETBALL WHILE SITTING IN WHEELCHAIRS, BOWLED BY PUSHING A BUTTON AND PARTICIPATED IN MANUAL AND POWER WHEELCHAIR RACES. ALL OF THESE ACTIVITIES WERE PART OF A SPECIAL PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASS THAT INCLUDED SIX STUDENTS FROM THE MATHENY SCHOOL. MATHENY STAFF AND STUDENTS DEMONSTRATED THE ADAPTED VERSIONS OF THESE SPORTS, AND THE TWO GROUPS OF STUDENTS COMPETED AGAINST EACH OTHER. GOAL OF THE PROGRAM IS TO PROMOTE INTERACTION BETWEEN BOTH GROUPS, ENABLING THEM TO COMPETE AS PEERS. STUDENTS FROM SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT THE NEARBY COMMUNITIES VOLUNTEER AT MATHENY, AND WE ARE OFTEN THANKED BY PARENTS, TEACHERS, SCOUT LEADERS, CHURCH YOUTH GROUP LEADERS, ETC. FOR THE ENRICHING EXPERIENCES WE OFFER THESE STUDENTS AND THE EDUCATION AND ENLIGHTENMENT THAT THEY WILL CARRY WITH THEM THROUGH THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. PATIENT/STUDENT PHILANTHROPY:FACED WITH THEIR OWN PHYSICAL CHALLENGES, MATHENY PATIENTS AND STUDENTS, NEVERTHELESS, ENJOY GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. DURING WEAR RED DAY, STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN ADAPTED VERSIONS OF JUMP ROPE AND HOOPS 4 HEART TO RAISE MONEY TO SUPPORT HEART HEALTH WELLNESS AMONG WOMEN. MATHENY ADULT PATIENTS RAISED MONEY TO SPONSOR A CHILD IN THE CHANGE A LIFE UGANDA PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES EDUCATION THROUGH SCHOOL-BASED PROGRAMS IN THAT COUNTRY. AND THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, PATIENTS AND STUDENTS ARE INVOLVED IN FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES FOR A VARIETY OF CAUSES AND ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS FOOD PANTRIES, THE SALVATION ARMY AND THE AMERICAN RED CROSS.ARTS OUTREACH:OUR INNOVATIVE MUSIC THERAPY PROGRAM ENABLES OUR STUDENTS AND PATIENTS TO PERFORM IN THE COMMUNITY AS PART OF THE MATHENY CHOIRS. THESE PERFORMANCES TAKE PLACE AT CHURCHES, SCHOOLS AND AT COMMUNITY EVENTS SUCH AS TREE LIGHTING CEREMONIES. THE MATHENY MUSES, A GROUP OF YOUNG ARTISTS AND PERFORMERS FROM MATHENY'S CHOIR, PERFORMED LAST FALL AT "EXPRESS YOURSELF", AN EVENT SPONSORED BY ARTWORKS, AN ORGANIZATION THAT PROVIDES CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS SUFFERING FROM CHRONIC AND LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESSES ACCESS TO CREATIVE AND PERFORMING ARTS PROGRAMS THAT ENCOURAGE THE USE OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS AS A VEHICLE FOR HEALING, COMMUNICATION, SELF-EXPRESSION AND PERSON DEVELOPMENT.OUR UNIQUE ARTS ACCESS PROGRAM, WHICH ENABLES PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES TO CREATE FINE ART, ASSISTED BY PROFESSIONAL ARTIST-FACILITATORS, IS BEING ADAPTED BY OTHER ORGANIZATIONS SERVING PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. MOST RECENTLY, THE ARC OF MERCER COUNTY HIRED A PROFESSIONAL ARTIST, HAD HIM TRAINED IN THE ARTS ACCESS METHOD OF FACILITATION AND STARTED A PROGRAM FOR ITS ADULT CLIENTS.ARTS ACCESS ALSO REACHES OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY VIA EXHIBITS IN VARIETY OF VENUES FROM MUSEUMS TO HOSPITALS TO LOCAL RESTAURANTS. PART VI, LINE 5: PROMOTION OF HEALTH IN THE COMMUNITY:THE MATHENY INSTITUTE FOR RESEARCH IN DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES CONDUCTS RESEARCH THAT HELPS PEOPLE WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES AND THEIR CAREGIVERS. WE PUBLISH OUR RESEARCH IN LEADING MEDICAL JOURNALS AND IN LEADING PUBLICATIONS IN THE FIELD OF DISABILITIES. WE PRESENT OUR RESEARCH AT REGIONAL, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES AND OFTEN ADDRESS MEDICAL SCHOOLS AND GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED MEETINGS. AND WE CREATE MULTIMEDIA TRAINING TOOLS TO HELP MEDICAL SCHOOLS IN PREPARING THEIR STUDENTS TO CARE FOR AND TREAT PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES.WE WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PASSAGE OF A LAW IN NEW JERSEY THAT PROVIDES FAMILIES OF PERSONS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES GREATER AUTONOMY IN MAKING DECISIONS ABOUT PARTICIPATION IN POTENTIALLY BENEFICIAL RESEARCH. BEING AWARE OF AN INCONSISTENCY REGARDING GUARDIAN REQUIREMENTS CONTAINED IN TWO PREVIOUS PIECES OF LEGISLATION, OUR RESEARCH DIRECTOR AND CORPORATE COUNSEL BROUGHT THIS ISSUE TO THE ATTENTION OF NEW JERSEY STATE SENATOR CHRISTOPHER BATEMAN. SENATOR BATEMAN, ALONG WITH SENATOR ROBERT W. SINGER AND ASSEMBLYWOMAN MILA M. JASEY, SPONSORED BILLS THAT RESULTED IN THE NEW LAW.IN ADDITION TO CLEARING UP THE PREVIOUS INCONSISTENCY, THE NEW LAW EXPANDED THE RANGE OF STUDIES THAT ARE ALLOWED TO INCLUDE ONES THAT MIGHT NOT HAVE DIRECT BENEFIT TO THE INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPANT, BUT MIGHT HAVE BROADER BENEFIT TO PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES. THE PRACTICAL BENEFIT OF THE NEW LAW IS THAT FAMILIES OF PERSONS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES WILL HAVE THE FREEDOM THAT OTHER FAMILIES ENJOY TO WEIGHT THE RISKS AND BENEFITS OF AN APPROPRIATELY REVIEWED AND APPROVED RESEARCH STUDY. AND THEY WILL MAKE THEIR OWN INFORMED DECISIONS ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS WILL PARTICIPATE.MATHENY HAS ALSO CREATED AN ONLINE DATABASE OF DENTISTS IN NEW JERSEY WHO SERVE PEOPLE WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES. THIS WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY A GRANT FROM THE NEW JERSEY COUNCIL ON DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES (NJCDD). THAT DATABASE IS AVAILABLE AT WWW.DISABILITYHEALTH.ORG/DENTAL. PART VI, LINE 6: THE ORGANIZATION IS NOT PART OF AN AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. PART VI, LINE 7 THERE ARE NO STATES IN WHICH THE COMMUNITY REPORT NEEDS TO BE FILED.
