The services are for individuals who have barriers to obtaining employment due to the nature and complexity of their disabilities. The services are designed to assist individuals for whom competitive employment at or above the minimum wage is unlikely without such support and services and need ongoing support based upon the member’s level of need.

 

Supported Employment services include, but are not limited to:

​

• Vocational counseling (Example: Discussion of the member’s on-the-job work activities);

• On-the-job training in work and work-related skills;

• Accommodation of work performance task;

• Supervision and monitoring by a job coach;

• Intervention to replace inappropriate work behaviors with adaptive work skills and behaviors;

• Retraining as jobs change or job tasks change;

• Training in skills essential to obtain and retain employment, such as the effective use of community resources;

• Transportation to and from job sites when other forms of transportation are unavailable or inaccessible.

​

Behavior Support Professional

 

A Behavior Support Professional (BSP) develops training plans that include member-specific aspects and methods of intervention or instruction. The BSP also provides training to staff members who will implement the training plans on aspects and methods of intervention. The BSP evaluates/monitors the effectiveness of the training plans and follows-up once training plans have been implemented to observe progress/regression. The BSP then revises training plans as needed.

​

Day habilitation activities must consist of programs of instruction/training developed and evaluated by a Behavior Support Professional. Supported Employment services may be supervised by a Behavior Support Professional.
