Good Employment for People with Disabilities: How to make it a reality

This four part workshop explores the significance of good employment for people with intellectual disabilities. Recognizing that work is one of the good things of life, the workshop begins with an examination and critique of historical strategies and ideas of work. The Discovery process is introduced as a tool to assist people and their supporters to identify what a person could contribute to the workplace and what is necessary for them to be successful . The important role of the employment professional in effectively supporting people on the job is then examined in depth. Important considerations about planning and working with potential employment to customize employment are the focus of the final session. Through lectures and discussion, this interactive workshop provides an opportunity to think more deeply about the
steps involved and to learn from the experiences of others.
