Social Security told me I can’t work

You are better off not working

There are no jobs

You’re not job ready

You’ll loose your benefits

You’ll loose your health care

I think I should go to work

Things are finally coming together!

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

“…individuals with disabilities are a discrete and insular minority … subjected to a history of purposeful unequal treatment, and relegated to a position of political powerlessness in our society… resulting from stereotypic assumptions not truly indicative of the individual ability of such individuals to participate in, and contribute to, society; … the Nation’s proper goals regarding individuals with disabilities are to assure equality of opportunity, full participation, independent living, and economic self-sufficiency…”

There’s a job for everyone who wants one

regardless of disability,

need for support or economic vitality

of their community

emp1oymentST

• Movement towards community integration and competitive integrated employment - not likely to turn back

• Economic opportunity and work parity are fundamental to achieving full citizenship

• Employment is the gateway to community acceptance and value

Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA)

• Increase employment in integrated settings and significantly limits use of subminimum wage (14c)

• Defines and prioritizes competitive integrated employment

• Requires individuals under age 24 to explore and try integrated employment before being placed in subminimum wage setting; prohibits schools from contracting with subminimum wage providers

Implications for Services

Competitive integrated employment as a priority

Meaningful community inclusion/engagement as an imperative

Change the way we operate is inevitable

True Culture Shift

Presumption of employment – all means all

Services versus programs

No more asking “Do you want to work?” but instead “Where do you want to work?”

Opportunity - Job shadowing, internships, volunteering, community involvement

Working is the norm – not the exception

Customized Employment

• Old model of Train and Place uses sheltered workshops to

get people “ready” for work

• Place and Train Model quickly became “Place and Pray”

• New approach…Discover, Connect and Support

ODEP Defines Customized Employment

• “A flexible process designed to personalize the employment

relationship between a job candidate and an employer in a way that

meets the needs of both”

• “Customized employment is based on individual’s match between

the strengths, conditions and interests of the job candidates and the

identified business needs of an employer” (ODEP, 2012)

Customized Employment Strategies

• Customized employment should not be the “new model” for job seekers with

disabilities, but should expand the universally accepted practice recognizing

the power of community and promoting relationships

• Customized employment gives power back to individuals, families, employers

and community stakeholders fostering flexibility, individuality, unique strengths

and desires, and builds partnerships with the community

Customized Employment Basics• Presumption of employment

• No “job readiness”

• No “realistic”

• Seeks to individualize the relationship between the job seeker and the employer.

• Primary components of Customized Employment process :

• Non traditional assessment or what is referred to as job seeker exploration or discovery – the

foundation for customized employment

• Development of an individual profile (Positive Personal Profile)

• Negotiation/Customization/Re-assignment of tasks focusing on strengths and assets of the job

seeker
