presented in a previous staff training were eligible for the drawing.
According to SVS Golden Gate Regional Director Randy Jones, "Daly City staff all participate
in training in Supported Routines - one of the many topics in SVS Golden Gate's
new intensive training curriculum designed to promote client independence
and staff competence in its community programs. ...
By making the training fun and interactive, staff learn to make learning fun for clients as well."
SVS's Golden Gate Region covers operations in Daly City, Foster City, South San Francisco
and, coming this fall, San Mateo.
