In the United States alone, there are roughly three million
individuals living with a developmental disability, but less than a
third are active in the labor market. This book provides a
comprehensive approach to developing a successful jobs program for
persons with developmental disabilities, drawn from the author's
extensive experience and real success. The majority of persons with
developmental disabilities are unemployed, underemployed, or still
work in sheltered programs where it is almost impossible to reach
their full potential. Job success is possible, but it requires a
system based on a business model based on proven economics, rather
than the traditional social services model. By employing a
step-by-step procedure for gaining insight into the client,
analyzing market opportunities, matching the client to a job, and
supporting the client after placement, service providers can help
individuals make a successful transition into good community-based
employment. Job Success for Persons with Developmental Disabilities
will be essential reading for profit and non-profit rehabilitation
service organizations, private job development businesses,
government funding agencies, special education job placement
programs, transition specialists, and families of persons with
developmental disabilities.
