Page 2 SiX MONTHS MEASURABLE OBJECTIVES STATUS (Continuation Programs Only) In the space provided, please list each measurable objective in your current program agreement and indicate the degree to which your program has been successful in achieving them. (Use data from first six months of the fiscal year.) 1) 100% of clients will improve school attendance (to every day) as documented by school notes and regular communication with school officials. We had two Cabarrus County boys enrolled in our program during the first six months of this fiscal year. Of these, 100% improved their school attendance to every day. They also evidenced an improved attitude toward school and verbalized an increased desire to continue and graduate from school. One of the boys was also involved in extracurricular activities such as SGA and football. 2) 75% of clients will improve school performance from failing grades to at least a C average, as evidenced by daily school notes and report cards. 100% of the clients were able to improve their grades to at least a C average. This was accomplished through tutoring and close communication with the client's teachers. 3) Delinquent and/or inappropriate behaviors will decrease by 80% as evidenced by no new court referrals, positive home visits, and daily progress notes by Resident Counselors. Both of the boys were able to achieve this goal. One boy was recently discharged from our program back to his home in Cabarrus Co. His behavior has improved and he is currently living with his mother. He has returned to public school and has successfully completed his probation through Juvenile Services. Follow-up with the mother reveals that the client continues to do well at school and at home. He is involved with follow-up services and substance abuse counseling through Piedmont Area Mental Health. The second client continues in the program to date. He has achieved many of his goals and is making progress towards graduation. He also has successfully completed his probation and was recently notified of his release from supervised probation. 4) Social and communication skills will improve by 50% through use of role play, counseling, family meetings, outside activities, and positive reinforcement from Resident Counselors. Evidenced by positive home notes, school notes, and interpersonal relations at the group home. Social skills for 100% of the boys improved dramatically. They have learned to control their anger and express their feelings verbally. Impulse control has also improved as evidenced by an increased ability to discuss frustrations versus their initial desire to explode verbally or physically. This has been noted both at the group home and by the parents during weekend visitations.
