Customized Employment: Everyone Can Work! Discovering Individual Potential - 27568
This free session introduces participants to Customized Employment (CE) and Discovering Personal Genius. At the core of CE lies one fundamental belief: Everyone Can Work. CE presumes the competence of all people and provides a set of strategies to learn what we need to know about students to support them with identifying opportunities and create win-win employment. Join us to learn the basics of CE and to begin to build your targeted employment action plan. It is highly recommended that parents, educators, and VR also attend additional support sessions to fully support youth with disabilities: Using Handheld Technology | Where Are You At Your Best? | Know Your Value! Let's Start Work! | Earning Money and Social Security Benefits!
