Vocational Evaluation:

The goal of this component is to assess a person's vocational strengths and interests in order to make recommendations for further services and/or the most appropriate type of employment supports. Assessment is accomplished through the use of actual job sites, simulated job stations, and psychomotor testing.

Work Services:

The goal of work services is to identify and address with each individual their work motivation, work habits, physical capacities, interpersonal skills, cooperative behavior, acceptance of instruction, and other work related skills. An additional goal is to provide remunerative employment in various settings. Periodic reviews of an individual's progress identify when an individual is ready for a less restrictive and more integrated work environment.

Job Placement and Support:

The goal for this component is to secure for the individual the most independent and integrated job they are capable of and for which they demonstrate interest and motivation. The Job Developer seeks a job that matches the preferences and abilities of the individual. When the proper match is found, the necessary support and training to maintain them in the position is coordinated and provided.
