PLAN of Central Ohio

ANNOUNCEMENT: The Center of Cognitive Innovation (CCI) has evolved into the Center for Cognition and Recovery, LLC (CCR). The CCR is a nonprofit, joint venture that has been established by PLAN of NE Ohio and JFSA of Cleveland to disseminate CET Cleveland™ nationally. CET Cleveland™ services are now being provided in the greater Cleveland area.

Ray Gonzalez has left PLAN of NE Ohio after almost 21 years as its Founding Executive Director to run the Center for Cognition and Recovery full time. Carol Falender who served as the Associate Director at PLAN is the new Executive Director of PLAN of NE Ohio. When asked about his move Ray’s response is “I made this move to the CCR because I believe so strongly in the ability of CET Cleveland™ to truly transform the lives of people recovering from cognitive disabilities.”

CET is now being offered at eight sites with 16 groups in operation. The goals for 2009-2010 are to develop additional partnership sites to disseminate CET Cleveland™ and to expand Community of Practice communications. You can visit the website: www.cetcleveland.org for the latest information on CET Cleveland™.
