SoutheastWorks Keeps on Shining…
Southeast continues to expand its scope of programs and services
for our individuals and their families.
Moving on a Path to Success
Dan Giras stands proudly
knowing his work
accomplishments.
Dan Giras is an individual who came to Southeast Works in May of 2009. He began his vocational
training on a part-time basis with the Pre-Vocational program. Shortly after, he made the decision
to be a member of the Southeast Works janitorial services department while still enrolled in the
Pre-Vocational program. Soon after Dan joined the Pathways to Success Program within the agency.
During this time he focused on improving his work skills and quality of work. Dan was determined
to strive for greater work independence. Over time Dan improved his work skills and met his valued
outcomes, and decided to leave the Pre-Vocational program and focus more on improving his skills
with the janitorial services department. Here he was able to learn all aspects of the janitorial field. He
quickly made friends with many employees at the various cleaning sites that Southeast Works serves.
Dan came to work each day with a positive attitude along with many suggestions on potential future
cleaning sites that Southeast Works could serve. This past spring Dan made the next step to greater
work independence; he became employed at the Alden Community Center near his home. Dan is
performing janitorial services 3 days a week at this facility. He really enjoys his new job and is very
well liked by his new co-workers in Alden.
CONGRATULATIONS DAN!!!
Passionate & Dedicated Staff
It is the passionate and dedicated employees like Tony,
that make Southeast Works who we are!
Starting with a new agency can sometimes be an intimidating experience, so when
Mary learned she was beginning a new program at Southeast Works and was going
to be using our transportation, she was a bit nervous. To put her more at ease,
Tony Schepis, a Southeast Works driver took the time to visit her house the day
before to introduce himself as her driver. He also let her explore the bus to help her
become more comfortable with this whole new experience.
Tony Schepis, one of our remarkable
employees here at Southeast Works.
Recognition for Taking Charge
When Kelli noticed one of her co-workers at Smokey Bones looked ill,
she took charge, notified her supervisor, and immediately called 911. The
woman was later taken to the hospital. It was due to Kelli’s calmness, and
attentiveness that a potentially life threatening situation was averted.
Congratulations Kelli!

News from Our Departments
Connections Day Hab Program
On April 1st, our Connections
Day Program began offering
the choice of Pre Vocational
services to our individuals in
order to prepare a pathway
to community employment.
We are now a program that
does both Pre-Voc as well as
Day Hab activities each day.This change has given our participants
the opportunity to learn about and do actual work in the Pre-Voc
segment, as well as continue enjoying the community-based learning
that the Day Hab program has provided for years.
The Connections Day Program participants have been presented
with many different activities related to Pre-Voc and work skills in
the community. From discussions about work skills and appropriate
work behavior to time management activities, our participants are
learning all about what it means to be an efficient and productive
worker.There have also been opportunities to put the skills they are
learning about to use. Our groups have done volunteer work at the
Morlock Foundation and the Buffalo
Science Museum, and have also had the
opportunity to do traditional Pre-Voc
jobs like hangers.
In the afternoon, the Day Hab portion
of the day begins. Some of the activities
we have participated in recently have
been cooking classes, walleye fishing,
swimming and of course everyone’s
favorite, bowling! Now that the
weather is warming up we are all really looking forward to going for
nature walks and getting out in the community more.
Focus on Fun
With the help of our Residential
Managers and staff, our individuals
get together several times a month
to participate in different group
activities such as cook off ’s, Bingo,
sports games, etc. The recent
highlight was a dance here in our
Southeast Works gym. There was
lots of food, drinks and of course
wonderful music
Community
Habilitation
Community Habilitation has a summer full of
activities planned to continue with their mission
to bring people together who live independently
in the community as well as at home with their
parents/caregivers.
Some outings include going out to dinner, bowling,
mini golf, the zoo and much more. For more
information please contact Jenny Sweitzer at
683-7100 ext. 246
In House Janitorial Crew
Our In House Janitorial Crew has been excelling in new skills such as
learning to use new cleaning equipment, while continuing to fully service
all of our department rooms by emptying wastepaper baskets, dusting, and
sweeping. The crew also maintains our recycling program.
Two members of our Janitorial Crew, Laura and Char.

UB Center for the Arts
Through the University at Buffalo and partnering with iXpress from Aspire,
some of our Southeast Works artists recently had the opportunity to work
alongside local artists from the community to learn what it is like to be a
working artist. They learned new techniques such as pottery and glass work
and created beautiful new works of art.
Both Southeast Works and UB’s artists will be featured in an upcoming art
exhibit at the Center for the Arts, with the concept of “Artist First, Disability
Second”. No mention will be given to who the disabled artist is vs. the non
disabled artist. Will you be able to tell?
A two week showing will run from August 1st until August 18th.

Working with Buffalo State College
2013 marks the 5th consecutive year that Buffalo State College’s engineering program has chosen
Southeast Works as their “Live Work Project”. Their goal was to design something that would allow
our individuals to become more productive in the work they do here. Professor Howard Payne’s
students had a chance to visit our work center to see the variety of jobs our individuals do, including
working on one of our largest contracts, Quality Park
Envelopes.
To complete this particular job, our individuals sort, count out and stuff a certain quantity of
envelopes into a plastic bag to be sold at local stores. The students noticed the amount of time
it took as well as the accuracy needed to make sure the proper amount of envelopes were in
each bag and decided to create something that would count envelopes for us, thus speeding
up our production time! The device they designed allows us to place envelopes into a slot that
counts and signals our individuals when the required number have been fed into the machine.
The students loved the project because it offered them real life, hands on experience and our
individuals couldn’t be more thrilled with the new machine!
Therap
In June our agency hosted a Therap User Group session which consisted
of Therap users from other agencies in the area. Therap is the main
information database for individuals enrolled in programs at our agency. It
was a big honor to be chosen by Therap to be a host, and it was a great
opportunity to show firsthand what a strong program we have developed.
If you would like to know more about Therap or have any questions please
contact Lori Sojka at 716-683-7100 ext. 253,
or e-mail [email protected].

Budget Cuts
On the News!
In March, five of our individuals attended a press
conference regarding the restoration of funds
to the OPWDD budget. While there, they had
the opportunity to meet Dennis Gabryszak and
ask him questions about the cuts, and even got
featured on WIVB Channel 4 news!

Giving Back
During the month of December, thanks to the generosity of several
Connections Day Hab families and participants, we were able to raise enough
funds to purchase Christmas gifts for the Morlock Foundation Children and
donate wreaths to homebound senior citizens in Cheektowaga.
Everyone enjoyed shopping for toys and games for children in unfortunate
circumstances, while the senior citizens were touched to be visited and to
receive their gifts.
Developmental Disabilities Awareness Day
On Thursday, May 23rd 2013, the 25th annual Developmental Disabilities Awareness Day was held at the
Conference & Event Center in Niagara Falls, NY. Professionals from several area agencies that specialize in
providing services and opportunities for people with developmental disabilities were at the convention to
provide guidance, literature and general information about services that each organization provides.
Once again, several members of Southeast Works attended and actively participated in the event.
Twenty-one workshops were held throughout the course of the day, providing a great opportunity to
meet people from neighboring Western New York agencies and to learn more about health, recreational
and habilitation services for developmentally disabled individuals.
DD Day Logo
Contest Winner – Steven Easley
Every year the DD Day Committee hold, a logo contest for all of the
DDAWNY member agencies. Individuals submit their artwork for a chance to have it
incorporated into souvenirs, tee shirts, bags, programs and much more.
After lots of submissions by many talented artists, Southeast Works’ own
Steven Easley WON!
When asked about his feelings on having a day such as DD Day that raises awareness of
others’ disabilities, Steven said, “It makes me feel happy.” Congratulations Steven!
Congratulations Steven! We are so proud!

Join us for our 14th Annual Challenge Dinner and Auction!
The Challenge auction is a fun-filled night dedicated to raising money
for our wonderful agency and the services that we
provide to over 500 individuals and their families.
Highlights of this year’s auction will include a wine pull,
silent auction, and of course the live auction that will
feature items such as A Night in the Sabres Press Box.
This year with the help of local sponsors, generous
donations and amazing auction items, we hope to raise
over $100,000!
Of course, the night would not be a success without
the help of volunteers and generous staff, family and friends.
We are still in need of lots more donations for our auctions and there
are still plenty of Sponsorship Opportunities available.
For more information on how to attend, donate or sponsor the event, please
