If employment is identified as a goal, we will help an individual obtain a meaningful job in several steps. First, we will utilize specialized assessment and training services through the Texas Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services (DARS). Once those services are exhausted, we will utilize Employment Assistance (to help find a job) and Supported Employment (to help maintain the job) services through the individual’s care plan to help find the job, prepare the individual for the job, provide significant initial assistance at the beginning of the job, and ongoing support through communication and occasional intervention (e.g., to address a minor behavioral issue, such as falling off task) with the on-site supervisor.
