Strategic Plan
The Dismas Home Strategic Plan
Reasonable Accommodations POLICY:
It is the policy of Dismas Home that qualified individuals with disabilities are not discriminated against because of their disability regarding access to services or employment within the agency. It is further the policy of Dismas Home to provide reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities in all aspects of the service delivery process and employment. For purposes of this policy, the term “disability” is used with the understanding that it has the same meaning as “handicap” in state and federal law. (See Section 504 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act and 45 CFR 85.3; Americans with Disabilities Act and 29 CFR 1630).
Providing Accommodations
- Each request for accommodation shall be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. The employee or resident will be involved in the process of determining potential reasonable accommodations.
- The decision to approve or disapprove an accommodation request must be made by the Executive Director in writing and provided to the resident or employee within 20 working days after the filing of a request.
- Where there is more than one effective accommodation, the final decision as to which accommodation will be provided shall be made by Executive Director after consideration of the wishes of the individual, the documentation provided, and advice from other appropriate personnel.

“I cannot tell you how much having the opportunity to go back to school to fulfill my dreams means to me. I have had a passion for animals and animal care since I was very young. I never thought I would have the opportunity to be able to fulfill those dreams. I am truly grateful for the simple fact that a complete stranger believes in me enough to financially help me follow my dreams. This single gesture has given me faith and confidence in myself, and a belief that I won’t fail. I’ve spent my entire life thinking I wasn’t good enough to live a sober, happy, and fulfilling life. Today, I know in my heart that I am finally on my way to where I’m supposed to be.”
The preparation of this (report, document, etc.) was financed under a Contract with the State of New Hampshire, Department of Health and Human Services, with funds provided in part by the State of New Hampshire and/or such other funding sources as were available or required, e.g. the United States Department of Health and Human Services.
The Department of Health and Human Services’ Mission is to join communities and families in providing opportunities for citizens to achieve health and independence.
