Dear Friends and Family of Woodhouse,
Violet Woodhouse, our founder, had a son Irving who was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. Because services for people with Developmental Disabilities were virtually non-existent in Florida at the time, she thought her son had little chance for survival. But Violet envisioned a place where people like her son could flourish if only given the same opportunities as the rest of us. So, she placed a simple ad in the local newspaper, “Adults with Cerebral Palsy need help. If you can help, please attend a meeting at the First Presbyterian Church.” This one small step led to the creation of the Cerebral Palsy Adult Home in 1975, known today as Woodhouse I. Due to the quality of treatment those very first residents received, some are still with us today.
Our original Executive Director, Marsha Linville, expanded on Violet’s vision in 1983 when a large state institution was closed due to rampant neglect and abuse. She rescued a group of adults with the most extreme forms of Intellectual Disabilities who were also being “nutritionally deprived” and brought them to their new home now known as Woodhouse II.
In 1994 a member of the Board of Directors led the way to open an adult day training program. Named for him, the Truman Worden Training Center focus on teaching self-care, personal enrichment and community survival skills.
Today this group of facilities is collectively known as Woodhouse. At Woodhouse, we believe that our unique participants deserve to receive unique services. We are unlike most places in three ways: Nearly all of our staff are Certified Nursing Assistants who are expertly qualified to handle the most extreme medical complications. Our goal is actually to remain small so that we can better focus on the quality of the services we provide rather than the quantity of customers. And the people we serve are truly embraced and valued by our generous local community that supports our efforts at giving them the best existence possible.
We are so grateful to you for your kindness and we understand that we could never reach our goals without your support. Inspired by our founder, Violet Woodhouse, our motto this year is:ENVISION : ENRICH : ENGAGE. As we move forward to face the challenges that await us, the Board of Directors, staff and residents of Woodhouse hope you will join us in this mantra.
With Warmest Regards.
Judy Sullivan Randall BishopPresident Chief Executive Officer
Each of our participants begins their year with an Interdisciplinary Team. They decide what they want to learn and accomplish; what will make them happier and more independent; where and with whom they want to be. Then the team helps them set a course to get there and provides the support they need to achieve their goals.
An Interdisciplinary Team is often comprised of a: Physician, Nurse, Physical Therapist, Occupational Therapist, Speech and Language Pathologist, Dietician, Social Worker, multiple Developmental Disability Professionals and family members.
This team conducts formal assessments on health status; physical and cognitive abilities; self-care and vocational skills; finance and home management; social, leisure and religious preference and mapping all areas of the person's well-being.
ENVISION“In order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision.”

David meets with his team
Back when Lakeidra first moved to Woodhouse, she was frustrated and angry a lot of the time. When most people in the world met her, the first thing they noticed was her disability. Although she was a vibrant woman in her 20’s, some people automatically treated her like a child. At Woodhouse she learned she was a person first, not a wheelchair, and that she had the right to be treated with dignity and respect.
Before I came to Woodhouse, people told me what to like and what to do. Now I can make my own choices.”

For a long time, people with Developmental Disabilities were not given a chance to find out what they could do. Others would usually focus on their weaknesses instead of their strengths. At Woodhouse our priority is to teach them skills to be as independent, interested and involved as possible.
All year long our participants choose goals they would like to achieve in life. With the help of their Treatment Team, teaching strategies are developed to acquire the skills that are needed to reach each of their goals
Some of these goals may be as simple as eating, bathing or toileting on their own. Others are more challenging, for example, applying for a job, opening a bank account or finding a considerate boyfriend. It may take them a little longer to reach their goals, but they deserve the opportunity to try.

I like to take care of myself. Sometimes I need help, but my staff show me how to do it on my own.”
Sometimes it takes Marcus just a little bit longer to accomplish a task. Well-meaning people who became impatient would jump in and do things for him. This did more harm than good because it made Marcus experience learned-helplessness. At Woodhouse, Marcus feels confidence and pride because he is learning the skills to stay healthy, make friends, keep a job, and advocate for himself.
People with Developmental Disabilities used to be invisible. People would scold their children, “Don’t stare!” Doctors would instruct parents to put them in an institution and forget they even existed. But now the participants at Woodhouse are involved and essential contributors to their community.
Just because people are born with a disability does not mean they are different. They love & laugh, hope & pray, grieve & cry. They like to skip work on a pretty day & eat food that is bad for them. They are just like every other member of our community.
This year we have visited museums, religious services, concerts, zoos, sporting events, plays, cruises, bowling, fine dining, fashion shows, auto shows, nature hikes and of course…..to the beach.

Hoyt uses our wheelchair accessible bus to go and see his favorite Elvis impersonator in concert with staff Margareth.
The Woodhouse staff takes my brother to all the special places that he likes. He has a much more active social life than I do.” ~ Dorothy Preston
Hoyt is very well known and well liked. As he travels to his usual haunts around town, he likes to practice his social skills by greeting people with a handshake, exchanging business cards, complimenting the ladies on how pretty they are and asking others their opinion on politics.
