Fayco Enterprises Programs and Services

FAYCO Enterprises, Vandalia, Illinois, receives referrals from such agencies as the state Department of Rehabilitation Services, public schools, mental health agencies, and the Department of Public Aid.

Referrals are also accepted from any other agency or individual. As may be imagined from the broad mission of FAYCO Enterprises, the total program involves a number of interrelated services.

FAYCO has a multitude of "in-house" services that facilitates the needs of the individual as well as many other specialized programs.

General Services

Family Support Services - is an outreach and support program aimed at enabling all developmentally disabled persons (children and adults) to be provided with the support and information needed to live in the community and avoid any situation which may jeopardize that continued independence.

Evaluation - may range from three days to four weeks, depending on the needs of the individual. Any individual meeting the general admission requirements and who is at least 16 years of age is eligible after necessary medical and psychological information is obtained. During this time the client is provided with the opportunity to express his or her vocational aspirations and abilities. The client learns to identify and work around those characteristics which serve as a barrier to his or her employability and to focus and build on individual strengths and talents so that meaningful steps may be taken to realize his or her own optimal vocational potential making informed decisions based upon information and self-understanding.

Employee Development - Problems basic to preparing clients for placement and employment in regular industry, such as a need for better work habits, attitudes or behavior, are the targets for improvement in our Work Services Training Program. This program lasts for one or more four-week periods. This time is spent in production areas under constant, direct supervision.

Community Employment Services - The thrust behind these programs is to help local employers with understanding the many benefits they will enjoy when they facilitate the assimilation of disabled workers into the competitive work force. Placement is a cooperative effort between the industrial and rehabilitational communities to find competitive employment opportunities for a qualified disabled worker and help ensure their success on the job. Please ask us how our Supported Employment Services can help you.

Regular Employment - For the client who has not been employed in a competitive setting, the workshop provides regular employment programs designed to provide the person with a productive role which allows the individual to earn a piece-rate wage based upon prevailing wages in the community.
