It provides ideas and examples to help individuals with disabilities and their job coaches through the process. Chapter titles for the workbook include: (1) "Power and Influence" (Valerie Brooke); (2) "Equality" (Paul Wehman); (3) "It's Up to Us: Practice and Attitudes Can Not Be Legislated" (Valerie Brooke); (4) "Maximizing Opportunities and Resources for Employment" (Teresa Grossi); (5) "Consumer Advocacy and Supported Employment" (Paul Wehman); (6) "Customer Initiated Supported Employment" (Michael Barcus and others); (7) "Training in Self-Advocacy and Future Planning" (Ed Turner and others); (8) "Peer Mentoring" (Ed Turner and others); and (9) "Personal Assistance Services" (Ed Turner and others). The information packet also includes a newsletter, "The Customer Is Right," that focuses on personal assistance services in the workplace. A 12-minute videotape recording, "Today's New Workforce: An Untapped Labor Pool," accompanies the guide and is suitable for staff training as well as marketing supported employment to individuals who are interested in facilitating employment for individuals with significant physical disabilities. The content focuses on job restructuring and assisted technology applications. (Contains 17 references.) (CR) |
