Phase II Extended Services

Extended services provides continued support and training in an integrated work setting for clients who have completed the Supported Employment Program and require additional intervention.

Activities included in this service are:
■ Problem solving specific on-the-job situations;
■ Job coaching/training in required duties;
■ Educating employer/coworkers on strategies/support techniques, including behavioral management;
■ Client advocacy that will enhance job retention. For example, evaluating the work environment for possible task sharing with coworkers; and
■ Monitoring job performance including spot-checking, ongoing contact with employer to assure success.
 
Emphasis is on:
■ Maintenance of skills acquired through participation in a Supported Employment Program;
■ Extended support and follow along while completing on-the-job skill training; and
■ Development of natural supports in the workplace that will ultimately replace paid supports and assure successful long-term job retention.
