Research and Findings

Possibilities is the product of intensive research and collaboration with clinical and academic experts in the field of learning challenges – including top consultants from the University of Illinois, Chicago.

Drawing from evidence-based research findings, Goodwill identified four key areas of skill development that will provide the framework for Possibilities, including:

• Health and Wellness
• Leisure and Recreation
• Education and Academics
• Time Occupation

The focus of Possibilities is proactive choice. Clients will have hands-on experiences, with an emphasis on doing and taking initiative. They won’t just hear about a more abundant life, they’ll engage in it. And as they participate, they’ll experience the rewards of their accomplishments through a token-based purchasing system that allows them to spend what they’ve earned in the town square’s general store.
