The purpose of this Basic Skills Clinic in Supported Employment is to provide the learner with a solid skill base for beginning and potential job coaches, employment specialists, vocational adjustment coordinators, and other personnel responsible for employment outcomes. The Natural Supports Training discusses and facilitates activities that determine the differences in Traditional Supported Employment Services and the implementation of a Natural Support Model.
Sessions review research studies that demonstrate the utilization benefits of natural supports.
The highly interactive presentations and participant activities explore the why , when , and how to implement natural supports and includes specific ways to look for and develop natural supports. The focus of the two day training concentrates on why natural supports are not optional. Each training session is facilitated by a rehabilitation professional for rehabilitation and independent living service providers. We have created an institute for the new millennium and we would like for you to become personally involved. If we intend to work together, we must begin by learning and creating together.
