2015-2016 Annual Report
We place the needs and wants of the individuals we serve as our first priority and ensure the highest quality of service.
We continually strive for excellence, never stopping or settling for mediocre.
We encourage an open and honest atmosphere, upholding the highest level of integrity.
We promote innovative, positive changes and actively seek out new opportunities.
Everyone Counts at CCDS
MePower Philosophy
Coastal Center for Developmental Services is dedicating to empowering people with developmental disabilities to live life fully with all of the rights and responsibilities of community citizenship. Our success lies in person-centered plans rooted in education, advocacy, services and supports. These customized plans and programs encourage the people we serve to be curious, ambitious, confident, and self-sufficient. In making these strides, participants in our programs experience independence, inclusion and the ability to become a self-advocate. Most importantly, the people we serve come into their own as valued members of our community and know they make a difference.
At CCDS, we work daily to incorporate our MePower Philosophy into all aspects of our programs.
Everyone counts. The value of a person should not be determined by status, salary or stereotype, but by passion, purpose and dedication to making a contribution. When people are empowered to realize their potential, we all grow stronger as a community.
Coastal Center for Developmental Services is dedicated to empowering adults with developmental disabilities through advocacy and personalized training. Supported day and employment services will be utilized to achieve the highest level of independence.
CCDS will be a nationally acclaimed center that will act as a catalyst for improving the value and meaning of individuals’ lives while maintaining a strong connection and presence in the community. Individuals with developmental disabilities will lead meaningful lives achieving success, both socially and economically.
Our employees are committed to upholding these 7 values, not only within the walls of our buildings, but within the community as well. These values echo the unity and dedication exhibited by our staff in leading CCDS through change and success in fulfilling our mission.

2015-2016 Annual Report
This has been a busy year of fine-tuning services, advocating at the state level, strategic planning, community recognition, and more. Looking back, I have a few highlights:
• Our 7th CARF national accreditation was confirmation once again that we have solid programs that truly meet the growing needs of our individuals.
• We started new programs in community settings. Community Access Group provides days filled with volunteering and enrichment activities, while Community Based Learning takes Quantum individuals for weeks at a time for training at volunteer sites.
• We received unprecedented support in our 5th annual golf tournament, and several community partners made donations that increased opportunities for those we served or provided program-specific equipment that enhanced services.
• A parking lot draining fix made the troublesome flooding disappear.• Quantum’s work was displayed in Target stores nationally on Savannah Bee Company products we
packaged. Each package also displayed Quantum’s logo and program summary.
As I look forward to the future, I see greatness ahead because the agency is in good hands. Our board is strong and has the best interest of our individuals at heart. They are active and committed, ensuring a bright future. Our staff is dedicated and goes the extra mile on a daily basis. They are compassionate, dedicated, and true advocates for the people they serve. Our individuals have a voice and are envisioning great futures. They are taking risks, sharing their hopes, and changing the course of their own services. The next Executive Director will inherit the best team, and together they will bring forth many more years of success.
This is my last letter, as I will retire after 40 years at year’s end. I am proud of what this agency has accomplished in that time, and I am humbled to have enjoyed some of its success during my last 8 years as Executive Director. It has been an honor and a privilege to be a part of your lives and join you in making a difference.
With deepest gratitude,
Kathy Thomson

2015-2016 Annual Report
This has been quite a year of change at Quantum. We started new programs to get more people into the community, built more local partnerships, and took steps to further meet the needs of the people we serve. Our new strategic plan made us look at our businesses long-term, and we are excited about the prospects.
The Community Based Learning Program was started and saw 29 Quantum individuals participate throughout the year. The 4-week intensive program was the first totally community-based opportunity many of our individuals had experienced. Meanwhile, the Community Access Group broke ground by serving individuals totally offsite, in non-vocational settings. Volunteer efforts, exercise classes, and enrichment opportunities have given these participants new connections to their community.
The four businesses ran unique journeys this year:
• QPA. Savannah Bee’s Majesty kits for Target brought national awareness to the purpose and capability of QPA. By year’s end, an updated design of Ergowell’s seat rest held promise for a new group of customers.
• Quantum Promotional Printing. QPP worked toward developing partnerships with more area public schools. The effort to expand these partnerships will continue during FY ’17.
• Quantum Catering. QC continued to provide lunches for Hancock Day School Students 3 days per week. Chef Martin completed certification for commercial packaging of canned goods. We plan to get the kitchen licensed by the Department of Agriculture in addition to our annual certification by the Department of Health so we can commercially package shelf stable food products.
• Quantum Specialized Assembly. We have been networking with our local contacts in an effort to secure additional work as the G-450 work decreases. For JCB, we are modifying plugs for the ABS sensors for after-market replacement parts. In FY ’17 efforts will continue to be focused on obtaining new contracts.
A full-time, outside sales representative was hired to start in the new fiscal year. I am confident that sales in FY’17 will greatly increase with her focus on Quantum Businesses!
Great days are ahead for Quantum as we continue to grow to meet the needs of our individuals, our customers, and the community!

2015-2016 Annual Report
Agency Spotlights
Coastal Center for Developmental Services received its seventh consecutive three-year accreditation by Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). This level of accreditation is the highest an organization can receive.
Our accreditations are in the following categories: • Community Employment Services:
Employment Supports
• Community Employment Services: Job Development
• Community Integration
• Organizational Employment Services
To receive a three-year CARF accreditation, CCDS demonstrated to a team of surveyors during an on-site visit its commitment to offering programs and services that are measurable, accountable, and of the highest quality. A three-year accreditation is the highest level of accreditation awarded to an organization and shows the organization’s substantial conformance to the CARF standards.
CARF is an independent, nonprofit accrediting body whose mission is to promote the quality, value, and optimal outcomes of services through a consultative accreditation process that centers on enhancing the lives of the persons served.
This year, Coastal Center for Developmental Services invited Chatham and Effingham Counties’ middle school art programs to participate in the World’s Seven Wonders Art Contest. The project was the idea of Kim Barr, Case Management Supervisor, and her daughter Rebecca Barr, a designer at Universal Survival Innovations.
With a $1000 Walmart grant, CCDS purchased large drop cloths, primer, brushes, and paint for the project. Ben Barr, owner of Universal Survival Innovations, installed the hardware for hanging the art. Local middle schools submitted three sketches and CCDS staff chose one for students to complete and delivered the canvases, paint, and brushes for them to begin.
Judges Nick Oji (SCAD) and Eleanor Rhangos (LETR & Co.) reviewed the works and gave awards in five categories:
• Best Overall – Esther F. Garrison School of Visual and Performing Arts, Great Barrier Reef
• Best Composition – Godley Station Middle School, Chichen Itza
• Best Interpretation – Hesse School K-8, Colosseum
• Best Use of Color – South Effingham Middle School, Christ Redeemer
• Most Creative – West Chatham Middle School, Northern Lights
These works of art bring life and energy to both participants and staff in the Day Habilitation program. CCDS plans to continue this project next school year.

2015-2016 Annual Report
Agency Spotlights
In the past year, Coastal Center for Developmental Services created new programs that increased opportunities our individuals served to have new community experiences.
Community Based Learning Programs
CCDS developed two community based learning groups for trainees in Quantum who were interested in more community-based activities. The groups take place at local nonprofits, which also serves as a way for the people we serve to give back to their community while learning new skills.
The first program is an internship that occurs weekdays for 4 weeks and gets the participants warmed up to working in the community. They cultivate soft and hard skill sets while participating in the internships. Host sites included Greenbriar Children’s Center and West Broad YMCA.
The second program consists of a 10-week curriculum and provides transportation to host sites by CCDS Job Coaches. It includes job training and career exploration, as well as continuous feedback from job coaches (who remain on-site throughout the period) and host employers. So far, this program has taken place at Second Harvest Food Bank and Oatland Island.
At the end of each program, participants are evaluated for job readiness, on-task behavior, motivation and timeliness. After completing the
programs, those who are interested in pursuing long-term jobs in the community move to the Transition or Job Development Programs. There has already been success within the first groups – 11 have landed full-time or part-time paying jobs in the community.
Community Access Groups
Community Access Groups were developed when a handful of individuals from Quantum businesses expressed they wanted to try out new and interesting activities in the community.
Partnering with local businesses and nonprofits, participants have enjoyed activities including:• ceramics classes• water aerobics classes• yoga classes• volunteering
This year’s CAG sites:• Savannah Cultural Affairs• Riverview Health & Rehabilitation• Habitat for Humanity Re-Store• Blessings in a Book Bag• Meals on Wheels
New Programs Expand Community Inclusion Opportunities

2015-2016 Annual Report
At its spring conference, Service Provider’s Association for Developmental Disabilities (SPADD) presented awards to two CCDS representatives for their longstanding commitment to people with developmental disabilities.
Executive Director Kathy Thomson (right) won the SPADD Trailblazer Award for her organizational leadership, advocacy, program development and meaningful impact on the lives of individuals with disabilities locally and across the state. Thomson, who celebrates 40 years with CCDS this year, has demonstrated her leadership and passion for advocating for the people CCDS serves as well as those across the state by serving on several committees and boards that determine state policy on service.
Clerk of Superior Court for Chatham County Dan Massey (left) received the inaugural SPADD Employer of the Year award for hiring, supporting, and advocating for people with disabilities in his business. He believes in tapping into their maximum potential by not limiting those employees with preconceived notions or expectations because of their disability. Massey also served six years on the CCDS Board of Directors.
CCDS and Savannah Employer Earn Major SPADD Awards
Quantum has a longstanding partnership with Savannah Bee Company. From the first order of silkscreened t-shirts in 2010 to fixing a packaging defect so it could be sold, Quantum businesses earned the trust of Savannah’s fastest growing local business.
The Majesty Kits were introduced to Quantum Packaging Assembly in the summer of 2015 as a multi-layered task. Three like-scented Savannah Bee Company items would be placed in a decorative zippered case and then wrapped in a cardboard display casing. The assignment was relatively routine, but the payoff was huge. Not only would the Majesty Kits debut for the 2015 holiday season in Target, but on its packaging, the Quantum logo would appear next to the following statement:
Gift set packed out by Quantum, Inc. Your purchase of this product supports training that empowers adults with developmental disabilities.
This isn’t the first time that products coming from Quantum businesses have ended up on the shelves of national stores, but The Savannah Bee Company was the first to acknowledge Quantum and its mission. And that’s pretty special!

2015-2016 Annual Report
The 2nd Annual MePower Ambassador Awards Luncheon honored seven people connected to CCDS and Quantum who made an impact on the agency. They embodied the essence of the MePower Philosophy and share the CCDS message boldly throughout the community.
As the awards were presented, all present listened to fond remembrances of the many ways each honoree impacted CCDS. How honorees helped CCDS ranged from years of board service and opening community doors, to being a strong self-advocate and giving the agency a voice, stories were deeply personal, powerful, and even emotional.
Each MePower Ambassador received an award hand created by Christian Royal, a ceramic artist who has Down Syndrome and lives in the Charleston area. The hand-molded bowl awards uniquely designed by Christian Royal Pottery will hopefully serve to remind the honorees of the agency they impacted, the opportunities they’ve given, and lives they have changed for the better.
Coastal Center for Developmental Services extends its heartfelt thanks to these MePower Ambassadors who worked tirelessly to further our cause, promote our message, expand our reach, and dare to change lives!

Throughout the year, CCDS and Quantum businesses were in the media spotlight in the greatest ways possible. All four TV stations and the Savannah Morning News ran stories featuring CCDS. Savannah’s media gurus – Bunny Ware, Scott West, and Marjorie Young – have all shared stories to their limitless media followers.
WJCL completed its fourth year of the inspiring Community Champions. The inspiring monthly glimpses of people being served by CCDS have also been shown at the majority of Lowcountry Down Syndrome Society’s Night of Champions event. WJCL’s one-time sister station, WTGS, launched its own local news, and coverage of our golf tournament was one of its first stories.
WTOC’s anchor Dawn Baker featured an engaging story on B.J. Clark’s job with the Chatham County Clerk of Superior Court. Addition coverage came though the promotion of the movie “Where Hope Grows,” whose showing was cosponsored by CCDS, and a glimpse at the postal workers’ food drive to support America’s Second Harvest Food Bank of Coastal Georgia. The CCDS Transition group was shown stocking the food.
WSAV came to Quantum to cover Savannah’s Tourism Leadership Council’s (TLC) day in Quantum where they volunteered alongside the trainees in all the departments. Anchor Tina Tyus-Shaw was a celebrity judge at CookieFest during the holidays and shared her experience. Tyus-Shaw returned in the spring to do a full feature on the agency that she termed “a treasure of human potential.”
The Savannah Morning News shared our press releases and golf promotions while the Georgia Center for Non-Profits monthly magazine featured an extensive article by Marc Shultz called “A better world through business partners: How the Coastal Center builds community for its clients.” Months later, Schultz followed up with a shorter story on Quantum.
With the support that CCDS has gotten in the last year from our media, we are well on our way to becoming a name that everyone knows.
CCDS’ Media Presence Grows
Ancillary Services and Transportation were busy implementing a number of big changes around the agency that brought many benefits. The interior painting of the Administration Building at the end of 2015 gave offices and hallways a nice face lift, and volunteers from DIRTT took care of painting the outside Day Habilitation entrances.
After decades of standing storm water in Quantum’s parking lot (nicknamed Lake Quantum), a parking lot fix changed everything. A rerouting drainage system was created that became an instant success. This was a perfect complement to the new canopy extension that was completed before the holidays.
The extension, designed to better protect van riders from the elements on days of inclement weather, was a welcomed addition.
Changes Improve Appearance and Function

2015-2016 Annual Report
With its history spanning decades, Coastal Center for Developmental Services is fortunate to have a collection of staff celebrating long careers at the agency. This summer, the top ten people with the longest tenure – aka The Top Ten(ured) – had a luncheon to remember old times, and share some treasured memories.
Listed with their anniversary in 2016, the top tenured staff serve in a variety of departments:
Lunch conversations focused on early days at St. Pius and St. John’s Center to early days in the “newly-built” 1970’s building that currently houses Quantum. Staff tried to remember the list of previous executive directors, as well as celebrated former coworkers and people served. Old photographs and stories were shared bringing a mixture of joy and a couple of tears.
For a moment in time, it was a chance to share memories and reflect on the people and events that brought them all to that point. When sharing who made the greatest impacts on them during their careers, many of them chose someone at the table. Often it was not something big that made the impact, but simple encouragement or support early on in their careers that they never forgot.
With retirement looming in the not-to-distant future for a couple of staff, it was most likely the last chance they would come together as a group. The anchors of the agency shared 406 years of experience – now that is something to celebrate!

2015-2016 Annual Report
Agency Spotlights5th Annual CCDS Golf Tournament Presented by Edwards InteriorsThis year’s golf tournament was held on Saturday, June 4th, 2016 at The Landings Club Oakridge Course. With over 80 golfers, 160 Special and Hole Sponsors, and nearly 100 prize donors, the tournament netted more than $32,000 for CCDS. Of the total raised, more than $5,700 was raised through day of tournament raffle ticket and auction sales.
The tournament had its first presenting sponsor, Edwards Interiors Aerospace of Rincon, Georgia, has been a steadfast supporter of community employment, hiring several people through CCDS.
Josie Gregory from WTGS attended and interviewed staff and individuals about the golf tournament how CCDS is helping empower people with developmental disabilities. Bunny Ware was also on the scene snapping photos for Spotted.
After completing 18 holes, teams returned to enjoy refreshing food and snacks at the 19th Hole Party. As the golfers cooled down and kicked back, the recipient of CCDS’ Vicki Loughrey Volunteer Advocacy Award, Lisa Dean, was introduced. Dean, who was nominated by Bill Sorochak (Executive Director of Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Coastal Empire) served that organization as a volunteer, Board Member, Board Chair, and Board Emeritus all while working full time at Synovus Trust Company as Vice President and Senior Relationship Manager. Lisa has supported and held leadership positions with many non-profits in the Savannah area as well.
After the award presentation, raffle tickets were drawn and awarded to excited golfers and attendees. More than a dozen raffle prizes with values starting at $300 were given away. Two large packages were auctioned to eager buyers, and game day prizes were also given to top golfers and teams.
Coastal Center for Developmental Services thanks all of the volunteers, players, and sponsors for making this event such a tremendous success!

Department HighlightsCase ManagementAll case managers have been advocating for individuals who have expressed interest in community employment who are in Quantum. They have listened to their requests during ISP time or quarterlies then provided feedback to supervisors when asked who should be on the next community based learning program or transition program. Many of these individuals have made a successful transition from Prevocational Services to Community Employment landing jobs at places like Enmark, Chili’s, La Quinta and many more. Approximately 5-10 people have transitioned from prevocational training to Community Employment.
Case Management has been a vital part in ensuring the health and safety of individuals by maintaining contact on a regular basis and observing changes in the individuals. These contacts and observations have sometimes resulted in moving individual’s to
a better environment of their choice to live, gaining more services to enhance their natural supports such as community access and ensuring individuals are getting mental health care they need to maintain employment and healthy relationships. We have had 4-6 people transition to a new home, about 3 people get access to quality mental health care, and we have added Community Access to approximately 20 people to increase natural supports.
Case Management staff are all DDP qualified now and are able to follow the care of our individuals from this capacity ensuring their services are meeting the standards. Case management has also taken on the role of providing community access for individuals and linking them to community events of their choice and building natural supports within their community. We serve approximately 30 people in this capacity.

2015-2016 Annual Report
Department HighlightsCommunity Employment ServicesCommunity Employment Services had another year of steady growth. Three additional job coaches were hired, allowing for more people to receive job coaching and for more employers to be approached to hire a person with a disability. As a result, 54 individuals received jobs this year!
CES staff attended three training sessions this year: Sales training by Diana Morrison, Customized Training by Beth Keeton, and ACRE Training and certification by Doug Crandall. These trainings will allow job coaches to not only serve our individuals better but to continue to grow Community Employment by reaching out to potential employers.
The Community Employment Services department also participated in Take Your Legislator to Work Day. Individuals working in the community were visited by local legislators who saw first-hand the importance and power of community employment. Jazzmine Smith was visited by Rep. Mickey Stephens at Memorial Hospital in Savannah. Lindsey Kussow was visited by Georgia House Majority Leader Jon Burns at Edwards Interiors Aerospace in Rincon. Billy Behrens was visited by Rep. Bill Hitchens at Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation in Savannah. B.J. Clark was visited by Rep. Bob Bryant at the records center for Chatham County Clerk of Superior Court in Savannah.
Three people from Coastal Center for Developmental Services were honored at the annual Lowcountry Down Syndrome Society’s Night of Champions. Willie Baker (Port Wentworth Police & Fire Departments), Charles Brown (St. Joseph’s/Candler) and Lee Brown (Five Guys Burgers and Fries, Pooler) received accolades for their dedication and excellence at each of their jobs.
Community Employment Services got local news media attention from local media stations WSAV,
WTOC, and WJCL. WJCL continued its monthly feature of Community Champions, where an individual from CCDS is spotlighted at their community job. These segments illustrate the value that the people we serve bring to local businesses, and if seeing them work isn’t proof enough, the glowing praises from managers is confirmation.

Department HighlightsDay Habilitation
Quantum Packaging Assembly
Participants in our Day Habilitation program continue to go on new outings to fun places like Butter Bean Beach, Botanical Gardens, Jepson Center, Aquarium, Lake Mayer, Skidaway Island and the train station, just to name a few. Our individuals also volunteer weekly with Meals on Wheels, and this year we rang bells for the Salvation Army during the Christmas season. Our folks love to be creative with art by going to Art Bash to express their creativity and to interact with others.
This year, Day Habilitation also gained new ways to bring new sights and sounds to participants. Large canvas art of the Seven Wonders was creating by local middle schools and then hung for everybody to see. A grant from Gulfstream was utilized to purchase and install an incredible media center that provides music and video, allowing the people we serve to exercise, to learn, and to relax. Individuals continue to benefit from therapies provided by
contracted occupational, physical, and speech therapist. In addition, a music therapist and a local music artist come several times a month to play for our individuals.
Quantum Packaging Assembly had a year full of new, exciting projects that kept eager trainees busy. Each contract offered trainees new skills to learn which are directly transferable to jobs in the community.
Large bulk mailing and packaging projects filled the calendar quickly. Later on, Quantum received a contract to paint 200 “power sticks” which are used to help Gulfstream employees learn a safe range of motion and avoid injury.
Ergowell worked on a new design for its signature Seat Rest, called the Ballast Weight Seat Rest. The Seat Rest is a popular item among aviation technicians. It is a 3-level storage stool made of aviation grade honeycomb aluminum and covered in premium leather.
Quantum Packaging Assembly had one of its largest contract orders to date – trainees assembled over 300,000 individual pieces into Savannah Bee Majesty Kits, which were sold nationwide in Target stores and featured the Quantum logo on the back of the packaging!

Department HighlightsQuantum Catering
Quantum Promotional Printing
Quantum Catering had an exciting year that saw growth and upgrades. For yet another year, Hancock Day School renewed its contract with Quantum Catering to provide nutritious lunches to hundreds of students three days per week.
Quantum Catering replaced its old, outdated stove with a new one using funds from a generous Gulfstream grant. The Quantum Catering van was wrapped in an eye-catching, colorful graphic wrap so that when it is out on its deliveries it also advertises our delicious food offerings. Along with the updated look of the van, Quantum Catering’s menu was updated, adding some new exciting items!
Quantum Catering continues to brainstorm new ventures for the upcoming fiscal year to expand its reach and grow its and visibility in order to create new prevocational opportunities for its trainees.
Quantum Promotional Printing had a busy year producing huge quantities napkins, t-shirts, ribbons, and an assortment of embroidered items. Button mirrors continued to grow in popularity as a fun, different item for special events.
Quantum Promotional Printing added three new schools: Hesse School K-8, Butler Elementary School, and Effingham County Middle School. Area schools don’t order just for current students, they also place orders for embroidered bags for teacher and t-shirts for class reunions.
QPP also produced large quantities of shirts for the Rambam Day School Memorial Day 5K and the Woof! Woof! 5K Run/Walk, both held in Savannah. DIRTT Environmental Solutions remained a steadfast customer, placing orders for t-shirts and customized napkins.
Quantum Promotional Printing aims to add more schools in Chatham and Effingham county to its customer base as well as some larger companies headquartered in the Savannah area.

Department Highlights
Human ResourcesAs CCDS’ staff has increased steadily over the past 5 years, Human Resources has worked diligently to provide staff with the supports that advance our organization and to offer the people we serve the highest quality support possible.
Training, both onsite and online, have been implemented. Staff participated in Relias e-learning, completing annual courses in topics like Health & Safety Management, Client/Patient Rights, HIPAA Privacy, and Abuse and Neglect of Individuals with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities. A corporate trainer was hired to provide new staff orientation and to lead courses in Crisis Prevention and Intervention.
Human Resources also created and implemented a new self-directed appraisal system for annual reviews of performance. The department also worked
to increase staff engagement in the Humana Vitality program, which benefits both staff and CCDS because this reduces costs for the agency while also improving overall staff health and fitness.
Quantum Specialized AssemblyDuring the past fiscal year, the bid to increase the pricing of the Thermocouple and Electrical assemblies was accepted. Quantum Specialized Assembly has continued to work towards obtaining additional contracts from Gulfstream as work has been slowing down for some jets. All of the electrical assemblies are currently being built out of the country in Mexicali.
Some limited work with JCB also occurred at points throughout the year.
MePower GardenThe MePower Garden saw yet another fruitful year, literally and figuratively! In September, the garden got a boost in harvesting and clearing through the efforts of volunteers through the United Way Day of Caring.
The garden yielded record numbers in produce – over 1,350 pounds of food throughout the year. Our fig and loquat trees are producing large quantity, and Quantum Catering has been using the produce in seasonal recipes. In the spring we planted blueberries for future use.
In the next fiscal year, we hope to expand Phase II by adding three more raised beds.
