Supported Employment Path

Supported Employment Path

The guide for the Supported Employment Path is a tool for students, parents, teachers, and guidance counselors to utilize. The Supported Employment Path can be considered useful for students requiring different levels of support. The checklists can be used for students needing a limited amount of supported employment services or for those requiring long term support from an adult services agency.

Supported Employment

Supported Employment refers to competitive work in integrated work settings for persons with disabilities. Supported Employment is for people whom competitive employment has not traditionally occurred or for whom employment has been interrupted as a result of disability. There are many levels of Supported Employment. A few examples include: One-on-one support (constant support at a job site), paired support (two individuals with a disability receiving help from one job coach), spot checks (periodic checks at a job site).
