Abstract
Interviews with employment consultants reveal 5 key elements for supporting job seekers with disabilities. This brief describes 5 key elements for supporting job seekers with intellectual and developmental disabilities in finding individual paid employment:
- Building trust
- Getting to know the job seeker
- Addressing supports planning
- Finding tasks/jobs
- Providing support after hire
A checklist organized around these 5 key elements makes it easier for employment consultants to understand and implement these support practices.
Community Engaged/Serving
No, this is not community-engaged.
