ADS | Adult Development Services | Greenwood, WI Providing Quality Rehabilitative Work Services Vocational Programs Outsourcing Capabilities Products For Sale Hire an Individual Contact Us Hire an Individual ​ Do you have an employment opportunity for an individual who uses our services? ADS can help your business become more diverse. ​ ADS recognizes that individuals are unique and have different abilities, skills, and preferences. Because society in general is diverse, businesses can benefit from participation by all segments of the population in their workforce. ADS can effectively place an individual with your business that meets your employee needs, fulfills your specific job requirements, and enhances the diversity of your workforce. Here is how hiring an individual through ADS' Integrated Employment Program can be of great value for your business: Worker assessment – The individual ADS places with your business is assessed for skills and desired work outcomes before he or she is presented for employment. This helps place an individual who is qualified and facilitates job retention. Job analysis – By analyzing your business's workflow, relationships between team members, and workplace culture, ADS can assist in looking for tasks that never get done. The goal is increased efficiency. Job analysis allows other employees to do their specified tasks or expand upon their duties. Job analysis can also lead to "job carving" which is sectioning out a portion of an existing job thereby maximizing workers skills. Job tryouts – Job tryouts are a win/win situation for both employer and prospective employee. This is a period of no commitment for both employer and individual. If at any time either party is unhappy with the job or the work done, the trial can be terminated. These work experiences are a significant aid to job retention and employee loyalty. On the job training – ADS will assign an experienced job coach to help train the individual and develop the natural supports necessary for the individual to become as independent on the job as possible. Although ADS will be there for long term support, it is important that the business has a stake in the individual's development and understands this individual is their employee. Diversification – Employment is based on need and therefore hiring an individual with a disability is not charity. However, employing someone with a disability is a great way to increase the diversity of your workforce. Your other employees become part of the process as they help provide support for the individual which creates an atmosphere of teamwork. Your business plays an important role in community integration. Individuals are empowered to be a part of the community and become less reliant on taxpayer dollars for support. In return, your community image is enhanced. You may qualify for state or federal tax incentives. ADS will work hard to facilitate a smooth transition that enables the individual to move from working with us to working for you. If you have an employment opportunity, please call or email Kevin . Feel free to contact us with questions and/or comments.

Animal Bites If an animal bite occurs, please contact the Clark County Sheriff's Office at 715-743-3221 to ensure that the biting animal is appropriately and legally observed or tested for rabies. It is also vital not to release or destroy a biting animal until a public health official or an animal control officer is consulted. The victim's physician should also be notified promptly. One of the most effective ways to prevent rabies infection is immediate, thorough cleansing of the animal bite or scratch wounds with liberal amounts of soap and water for 10-15 minutes. ​ Rabies is a viral infection of the central nervous system that affects all warm-blooded mammals and causes fatal swelling of the brain and spinal cord. Vaccinated Animals Vaccinated animals must quarantine in their home for 10 days under the supervision of the animal owner. The animal cannot run loose outside of the home or travel anywhere other than the vet’s office. Three vet checks are required within 10 days from the time of the bite. Unvaccinated Animals Unvaccinated animals must quarantine in a facility (vet office, local humane society, etc.). The animal owner is responsible for the cost of quarantine and transporting the animal to the vet for the three vet checks. 2 locations are available for Clark County residents. The first is Taylor County Humane Society , and the second is Critters R 4 Us. Three vet checks are required within 10 days from the time of the bite. DO NOT DESTORY OR RELEASE AN ANIMAL THAT HAS BITTEN A PERS ON until consulting with a public health official. In nearly all cases, observation or testing of the animal can eliminate the need to administer the series of injections to prevent rabies. In the state of Wisconsin, you are REQUIRED to vaccinate your animals. For more information, click here (see highlighted on pages 3-5). For more information on animal bites visit: DHS Rabies Prevention Measures Exposure to rabies may be minimized by the following measures: Eliminate stray dogs and cats and enforce leash laws. Vaccinate pet dogs, cats, ferrets, and livestock against rabies. Stay away from all wild animals, especially those acting abnormally. Teach your children not to approach any unfamiliar animals. Do not keep exotic or wild animals as pets, regardless of how young or cute they are. Exclude bats from living quarters by keeping screens in good repair and by closing any small openings that could allow them to enter. Persons traveling to developing countries in which rabies is highly prevalent, or persons who are at ongoing risk of possible rabies exposure (e.g., veterinarians, animal control officers), should ask their doctor about receiving the PRE-exposure rabies vaccinations. ​ How Can You Prevent Rabies in Animal s? There are several things you can do to protect your pet from rabies. These include making sure your pets get regular rabies vaccines, keeping pets away from wild animals, spaying or neutering pets, and calling animal control to remove stray animals from your neighborhood. What Animals get Rabies? Rabies affects only mammals. Mammals are warm-blooded animals with fur. People are also mammals. Birds, snakes, and fish are not mammals, so they can’t get rabies and they can’t give it to you. But any mammal can get rabies, including people. While rabies is rare in people in the United States, with only 1 to 3 cases reported annually, about 6 0,000 Americans get post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) each year to prevent rabies infection after being bitten or scratched by an infected or suspected infected animal. ​ ​ How Can I Tell If An Animal Has Rabies? You can’t tell if an animal has rabies by just looking at it—the only way to know for sure if an animal (or a person) has rabies is to perform laboratory testing. Some things to look for are: general sickness problems swallowing excessive drool or saliva an animal that is overly aggressive an animal that bites at imaginary objects (sometimes called “fly biting”) an animal that appears tamer than you would expect an animal that’s having trouble moving or may even be paralyzed a bat that is on the ground To report a public health emergency or communicable disease after hours, please contact Clark County Dispatch at (715) 743-3157.
