The Work Readiness Program provides pre-employment
services which prepare individuals with the most significant
developmental disabilities for future Supported Employment.

Work Readiness Program participants will:

•  Identify feasible vocational options based on their own
   strengths, interests and preferences
•  Improve workplace communication skills
•  Gain cognitive skills vital for self-control and for
   developing appropriate social behavior
•  Learn day-to-day problem-solving skills
•  Acquire basic work skills through a community-based
   internship / work experience program

The program participants must have a diagnosis of developmental disability - documented in an updated psychological report – as well as a psycho-social report, medical report and IEP.

Upon completion of the Work Readiness Program, the participant will be referred to the Supported Employment Program – Intensive Phase.
