McCalls Chapel School

ALL OF MCCALL'S PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO DEVELOP INDEPENDENT LIVING SKILLS FOR OUR SERVICE USERS. OUR PROFESSIONAL, INTERDISCIPLINARY CARE TEAM CONTINUALLY ASSESSES THE PERSONAL SITUATION OF EACH INDIVIDUAL; WORKS CLOSELY WITH THE INDIVIDUAL TO DEVELOP ONGOING IMPROVEMENT PLANS AND ATTAINABLE GOALS; MONITORS PROGRESS AGAINST THESE GOALS AND OVERSEES ANY NECESSARY REMEDIAL ACTION; AND MUTUALLY ESTABLISHES NEW GOALS TO MAINTAIN PROGRESS TOWARDS INDEPENDENT LIVING. IT IS OUR BELIEF THAT THE MOST SATISFYING LIFE IS ONE DETERMINED BY SELF-ACTUALIZATION, PERSONAL CHOICE, AND ACQUISITION OF THOSE SKILLS NECESSARY FOR LIVING IN A SELF-SUFFICIENT MANNER. WE TEACH LIFE, SOCIAL, AND VOCATIONAL SKILLS TO FOSTER INDEPENDENT LIVING FOR OUR INDIVIDUALS. LIFE SKILLS INCLUDE: PERSONAL HYGIENE; TOILETING; ABILITY TO SELF-MEDICATE; MEAL PREPARATION; CLOTHES WASHING; AND MAINTENANCE OF A SAFE ENVIRONMENT. SOCIAL SKILLS INCLUDE: UNDERSTANDING AND CONFORMING TO SOCIAL RULES AND NORMS; SUCCESSFUL INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS; ASSUMPTION OF PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY; DEVELOOPMENT OF SELF-ESTEEM; OBEYING LAWS; AND THE AVOIDANCE OF VICTIMIZATION. VOCATIONAL SKILLS INCLUDE: OCCUPATIONAL TASK ABILITY; ABILITY TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS; JOB INVERVIEW TECHNIQUE; AND ENTREPRENEURIAL COMPETENCE. OUR SERVICE USERS CURRENTLY WORK IN LOCAL RETAIL STORES, AUTO DETAIL SHOPS, LAWN MAINTENANCE CREWS, AND PERFORM COMPETITIVELY-BID CONTRACT WORK FOR THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA. FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO REQUIRE MORE EXTENSIVE CARE, MCCALL'S IS THE ONLY ORGANIZATION IN THE STATE WHO PROVIDE 24-HOUR, SKILLED NURSING SUPPORT IN A GROUP HOME SETTING TO PERSONS WHO ARE MEDICALLY FRAGILE. THESE PERSONS NEED ASSISTANCE IN PERFORMING GENERAL BODY MOVEMENTS, EATING, TOILETING, AND MOST OTHER ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING.
