Career Planning
With the individual taking the lead, LSS provides a well thought out process for developing individual career plans. We support the individual to hold their own career planning meetings, inviting those they feel know them the best, or people that might have something positive to contribute to the plan. The process includes MAPS, from which an individual’s strengths and preferences are highlighted, as well as what works for the individual, what they love, where they spend time, and their unique network of friends and family. From this information, further work is done to identify the specific types of supports that will be needed to make a successful job match from the beginning.
Volunteer Support
Many individuals that we work with are interested in being more involved in their communities, giving of their gifts in areas of meaning to them, and developing relationships. We assist these individuals in exploring and offering of their time and talent to volunteer in activities that make a difference for them and for others.
Paid Employment Support
We find that many individuals and employers are very happy to provide employment to individuals with disabilities with the paid support professionals that we provide. Support is utilized to obtain employment, learn and maintain job skills, and develop relationships. We maintain assessments of the individual’s job skills, and work with employers to maintain quality within the employment setting.
Naturally Supported Employment
Many individuals are capable of working within the natural parameters of a job situation. By providing consultation to the employer on the individuals learning style and by providing the employee with the tools that they need to be successful, the individual is trained and supervised by the employer, as any of us would be on the job.
