Which individuals are best for your program?

We provide services to youth and adults with disabilities. Those served/supported have included persons with intellectual/developmental disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, mental health conditions, visual and hearing impairments, and physical mobility limitations. We work collaboratively with community mental health networks and providers in Oakland and Wayne counties, Michigan Rehabilitation Services, Bureau of Services for Blind Persons, and school systems.

What is a Job Coach?

Job Coaches are offered as part of our Supported Employment Program. A Job Coach is a team member who specializes in supporting individuals with disabilities on and off the job. Our Job Coaches provide customized one-on-one training to meet each client's needs for working their specific job. The support of a job coach helps make workers feel comfortable and increases the odds that they will have the accommodations needed to thrive on the job.

Can someone who received Social Security Benefits still work?

Being employed and earning income has the potential to impact the type of benefits you may be receiving from Social Security. It’s important to be aware of this before entering our program. If you or a loved one begins services, our team will discuss this with you to make sure everyone is informed and prepared. That being said, many of our clients receive SSI and maintain meaningful employment in the community!
