Best of Customized Employment

An exploration of what works in supported employment for people with developmental disabilities. Authentic work brings a richness and fullness to our lives in so many ways. Contributing gifts and talents, making friends, personal and professional growth opportunities, and a good reputation are all important potential benefits gained from valued work.

Employment has largely been unavailable to people with significant intellectual and developmental disabilities or mental health issues. New ideas and new thinking are helping us learn to make room for people with disability in the workforce, and this is an exciting area where change is brewing.

This event will explore powerful ideas and principles that can assist people with disabilities to enjoy all the benefits of authentic work roles. Join us in laying groundwork for new ideas, inclusive strategies, and creative planning. Learn about some major building blocks of successful supported employment practice and help adapt these ideas to Indian realities.

Pre-requisites: This workshop is intended for people who have had exposure to a Social Role Valorization training course of at least half-day duration.
