Transition
Partnership Program (TPP)
Also known as the school-to-work transition program, TPP offers the opportunity
for students, prior to graduating from their special education program, to gain
exposure to the world-of-work through our onsite classroom, and work-for-pay
as they assimilate for brief periods of time in our production facility.
Habilitation
Habilitation services offer the opportunity to teach individuals with developmental
disabilities basic work skills; assist them to raise such basic skills to meet
industrial standards; and learn how to develop and maintain social relationships
within a work environment. Services are provided through the team effort of
our Production Supervisors and Rehabilitation Counselors. Each individual works
for pay and receives holiday and vacation benefits.
VR-WAP
The Vocational Rehabilitation-Work Activity Program provides additional support to participants wishing to make the transition from our base-operated work services program into our community-based supported employment program.
VR-WAP
is a time limited, systematic training program which assists persons toward
their optimal level of vocational development, utilizing real or simulated work
in a facility (internal) or community based setting (external) with an emphasis
on paid work. The intent of the program is to assist persons to understand the
meaning, value, and demands of work; to learn or re-establish skills, attitudes,
personal characteristics, and work behaviors; and to develop functional capacities
leading towards a more independent level of employment. Activities in this program
include, but are not limited to, the development of: physical capacities, psychomotor
skills, interpersonal and communicative skills, work behaviors and characteristics,
job seeking and keeping skills, work performance skills, work-related functional
skills, functional literary skills and knowledge of work practices. VR-WAP services
are provided through 3 programs:
External Situational Services (ESA) is a set of services specifically designed to assess a consumer's current level of employability utilizing a variety of work environments. Clients will be able to identify their general areas of vocational interest, while increasing their knowledge of employment options available. An external assessment utilizes the community as an assessment tool, and the resulting report will identify barriers to employment and recommendations for services that will assist in removal of these barriers. Job Exploration may be a part of this program area.
Personal Vocational and Social Adjustment Services (PVSA) comprises of a goal-oriented service in which functional skills are developed to enhance employability for a supported employment outcome or job maintenance in a group setting. This program is designed to maximize a person's independent vocational functioning through the provision of training in appropriate work-related behaviors such as: grooming and hygiene, appropriate interaction in the workplace, communication, mobility and prevocational skills. Services are individually designed to eliminate identified barriers to employment and are generally an adjunct component of Community Employment or Work Services programs.
Job Exploration is utilized to provide participants with a first hand view of vocational opportunities within the community. Individuals are afforded the opportunity to observe various jobs and their related tasks to facilitate a thorough understanding of specific occupations. This program introduces many new jobs to our participants and their first hand exposure and observations serve as an excellent learning tool for them. Activities in this program include interviewing the participants to determine their area of interest within the work field and then transporting participants to designated job sites, as well as a variety of job sites perhaps not previously considered by the participant due to lack of information or understanding of the duties. Each job is then broken down into tasks, and participants receive a very clear and concise explanation regarding the job duties for each occupation.
