Sherwood is now fully reopened.

 

We are ready and able to serve more children and adults with disabilities.

 

At this time, all Sherwood offices are reopened per Governor Inslee’s Healthy Washington state-wide reopening instructions. We continue to follow specific guidelines from OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) to remain compliant to their General Duty Clause, which states staff will continue to wear masks while working with families, program members or visiting any of our three locations.

 

1) Sherwood Employees who can provide supports and therapies remotely or in the community will continue to do so.

 

2) Sherwood Employees will continue to do a self-health assessment prior to working each day. Sherwood Employees will be required to wear masks while in the community and follow any safety guidelines set in place for any locations or settings they are in.

We are asking any community members who visit Sherwood offices or receive services from a Sherwood Team Member to also follow the same Self-Assessment.

​

Our Early Supports team is available to schedule limited in-person therapy sessions at this time and we and continue to provide telehealth therapies and video conferencing to support our families so their child doesn’t experience a delay in development.  We are reaching out to the community, letting parents know they can self-refer and call as soon as they are concerned about a potential delay. We continue to work with families to ensure vital services are provided if a family has lost healthcare or is in a financial hardship.

​

Sherwood’s Career and Community Connection team is available to provide services in person at this time. Our team has provided services to adults with disabilities in essential positions throughout this pandemic. We continue to educate our clients on the importance of wearing masks, how to work while practicing physical distancing so they can start earning paychecks again. Adults with disabilities getting back to work is an important part of the economic recovery. Our staff have worked remotely during this time and continue to have innovative conversations on how technology, video resume’s and virtual services make a positive impact for those we serve while being physically separated.

We will continue to monitor new information and keep you informed to the best of our ability.
