COMMUNITY EMPLOYMENT
JOB DEVELOPMENT & JOB COACHING
Community Employment is the preferred path for working-age adults with developmental disabilities. Individuals should have the opportunity to explore career options and seek a job that fits their skills and interests.
The Community Employment Program works to assist individuals with developing independence in the workplace. By partnering with agencies such as Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD), there are many different services and supports that can be provided depending on the need of the person seeking services.
