  • Helping Families to Understand the Employment Process and See Possibilities

    For individuals with disabilities who are competitively employed the positive impact of the job goes far beyond a paycheck. However, families may have a difficult time seeing the benefits of employment. This session will breakdown the most common steps in facilitating community-based employment for an individual with a disability and highlight ways families and caregivers can play a role in the process. Topics will include tools for initiating a strengths-based employment search, the importance of work experiences, and tips for navigating employment supports. Families who understand the employment process may be more likely to embrace real work as the preferred option for their loved one, leading to lives that are meaningful and deeply connected to a person's community.
