Top 3 Benefits of Employment Services for Adults with Disabilities

Many individuals living with disabilities dream of being employed, earning income, and working toward independence. RISE Services, Inc. Missouri offers comprehensive employment services that prepare, train, and support adults who wish to find interesting and meaningful jobs. Today, we’d like to highlight three employment benefits that provide unique job coaching solutions for adults with autism, brain injuries, and intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs).

1. We Spend Time Building Relationships

Before our clients apply for jobs in their communities, our team members spend time building relationships with them. We genuinely take time with each of our clients to explore their areas of interest, ask questions about their long-term job goals, and review job training tools that can best prepare them for future employment. Based on our conversations and insights gathered, our employment staff helps them create vocational plans that can guide them toward a thriving career.

2. We Customize Services to Individual Needs

RISE Services, Inc. Missouri is one of the leading experts in providing customized employment services to individuals with IDDs. We follow a unique career development plan tailored to our employment process, addressing needs, providing personalized job support, and building confidence in individuals with disabilities. This career plan includes:

• Creating employment goals for specific job interests
• Providing hands-on training and in-person demonstrations tailored to each adult’s goals
• Developing individualized vocational plans to prepare clients for successful employment

3. We Provide Support Through the Employment Process

From vocational assessments to long-term job support, our Employment Services team assists individuals throughout the employment process. With pre-employment services, we apply a variety of vocational-readiness tools, such as technology assessments and job shadowing. Competitive employment solutions offer job trials at local businesses, work-readiness evaluations, and opportunities to explore vocational interests. On-site training, self-management strategies, reinforcement of good work habits, and more are included in our Supported Employment services.
