Our Programs
(Coming Soon...)
Community Integration
Community Integration Services are services designed to assist individuals in acquiring, retaining, and improving self-help, socialization and adaptive skills necessary to reside in the community. Community integration services and related training enable the recipient to plan for and engage in meaningful adult activities including domestic and leisure activities. Community integration can include cues, on-site modeling of behavior, and/or supervision to assist the consumer in maintaining maximum independent functioning.
Career Assessment
Career Assessment is an individualized employment assessment used to assist in the identification of potential career options based upon the interests and strengths of the participant. Career Assessment is an individualized employment assessment that includes:
- Conducting a review of the participant’s work and volunteer history, interests and skills, which may include information gathering or interviewing
- Conducting situational assessments to assess participant’s interest/aptitude in a particular type of job
- Identifying types of jobs in the community that match the participant’s interests, strengths and skills
- Developing a Career Assessment Report that specifies recommendations regarding the participant’s needs, interests, strengths, and characteristics of potential work environments. The Career Assessment Report must also specify training or skills development necessary to achieve the participant’s employment or career goals, that could be addressed by other waiver services in the participant’s service plan
Job Coaching
Job Coaching services are individualized services providing supports to participants who need ongoing support to learn a new job and maintain a job that meets the definition of competitive integrated employment. Competitive integrated employment is full or part-time work at minimum wage or higher, with wages and benefits similar to those without disabilities performing the same work, and fully integrated with co-workers without disabilities. Job Coaching can also be used to support participants who are self-employed.
Job Finding
Job Finding is an individualized service that assists participants to obtain competitive, integrated employment. Competitive integrated employment is full or part-time work at minimum wage or higher, with wages and benefits similar to those without disabilities performing the same work, and fully integrated with co-workers without disabilities.
Employment Skills Development
Employment Skills Development services provide learning and work experiences, including volunteer work, where the participant can develop strengths and skills that contribute to employability in paid employment in integrated community settings. Services are aimed at furthering habilitation goals that will lead to greater opportunities for competitive and integrated employment and career advancement at or above minimum wage.
