 All ACCSES-IDAHO's member services are non-profit corporations. Each has a board of directors
composed of citizens from the geographic area the facility serves. The directors,
who volunteer their time and energy, ensure each program provides services uniquely
designed to best meet the needs of disabled and disadvantaged persons from their
respective communities. The directors are responsible for the adoption of policies
and procedures which structure the program's operation. They also employ staff
members to implement those adopted policies and procedures.
The
State of Idaho, through the Department of Health and Welfare, the Idaho Division
of Vocational Rehabilitation, the Idaho Commission for the Blind, school districts,
other agencies, and private individuals, purchase various services from facilities
on a schedule fee basis. The fees for services rendered provide a significant
amount of the total income generated. Rehabilitation facilities also secure
grants from state and federal sources and from private foundations to develop
and implement projects to serve specific disability groups.
