​

Our services take a unique approach in supporting individuals with disabilities before, during and after their job search.  Job seekers have the opportunity to address their needs on a holistic level by working directly with both the vocational and clinical director during the entire process.  Rather than solely focusing on employment needs, we address the individual as a whole. Studies show that social/emotional needs directly impact employment.  By addressing skill deficits, we are further increasing the prospect of clients not only obtaining a job but most importantly, retaining it!
