The Rural Institute Transition Projects is pleased to offer a six-series
seminar on Customized Employment strategies. There is no cost to
participate.
The first session, "An Overview of Customized Employment," will provide
an overview of the Customized Employment process for youth with a
significant impact of disability. Why customize? For students with a
significant impact of disability, customizing an experience or
employment setting enhances their opportunities for participation. By
tailoring a position--removing or avoiding tasks a person cannot do well
or at all, creating supports and environments wherein we know a student
is at his or her best--we can maximize a student's independent and
competent performance. This not only increases the student's
self-esteem, but also promotes her as a competent employee to coworkers
and employers.
The web conference will be held on Monday, November 3rd, from 1:00 -
3:00 Mountain Time.
Registrations are due by 5:00 PM on Wednesday, October 29, 2008.
