A menu of employment and day services are offered, to be selected individually or as a continuum of services leading to employment or activities in the most integrated setting.
Individuals see firsthand what a job involves and speak to employers and employees.
Interest inventories and personal interviews are an integral component of the evaluation as well as standardized tests, work samples and observations of work-related behaviors throughout the evaluation. Additionally, a situational assessment may be used as an opportunity to help an employer see beyond an inadequate job history or long period or injury or illness and allow an individual to prove an ability to perform the job, possibly resulting in a permanent hire. An assessor is on-site with an individual throughout the assessment. During this period there is no cost to the employer. All wages paid to the individual for work performed are paid by Easter Seals Goodwill Industries.
