The First Day

Today was the first day on the job at Sunmount DDSO... It was very exciting. My aunt was the trainer for DDSCTA's that's what I am A Developmental Disabilities Secure Care Treatment Aide. Then there are the DA's which are obviously the Developmental Aides... I am A grade 10 at Sunmount...

It was funny because when I walked into the class room where my aunt was training she had written on the board "Betty is your FAVORITE TEACHER!!" LOL She was picking on me the whole half hour LOL . She made it fun though.

This is a Picture of the building in which I work in called Sunmount D.D.S.O . For those of you who do not know what this is all about D.D.S. O Stands for Developmental Disabilities Services Office... an OMRDD.

This institution has houses in the community which take care of people who are able and willing to live out in the community.. the people who work in these houses are called DA's Developmental Aides...

Behind the Fence which is this building has all the people who aren't able to live out in the community... and who are criminally charged at some point in their lives, some people in this building have come from prisons, Jails, or mental health institutions

The staff that work behind the fence are called DDSCTA's Which for short we say Discata Which means Developmental Disabilities Secure Care Treatment Aide... Eventually with the right schooling I will be able to work my way from a grade 10 to a grade 28 where instead of making 30,000$ per year I will be making 45-60,000$ per year..
