Supported Employment

Supported employment facilitates competitive work in integrated work settings for individuals with disabilities. Opportunities are provided for individuals that have faced barriers to competitive employment. Supported employment provides assistance such as job coaches, transportation, assistive technology, specialized job training, and individually tailored supervision.

Supported employment is a way to move people from dependence on a service delivery system to independence via competitive employment. Recent studies indicate that the provision of on-going support services for people with severe disabilities significantly increases their rates for employment retention.

Supported employment encourages people to work within their communities and encourages work, social interaction, and integration. LLM’s pro active approach to supported employment is developed by educated professionals in the field. We use creativity to employment barriers and create opportunities that are individualized developed that will promote excitement.
