Employment First

A belief that employment in the general workforce is the first and preferred outcome in the provision of publicly funded services for all working age citizens with disabilities, regardless of level of disability.

For many people that receive state funded services, the idea of employment has almost been an afterthought, especially for people with significant disabilities. Other options that have had a higher priority include Day Support, Pre-Vocational training or Sheltered Work in a facility that may have paid wages less than the Federal minimum wage.

Medicaid Waivers can be a source of much confusion at times, but are an extremely valuable asset for those who have them. Our trained staff can not only help answer your questions regarding your specific waiver, but can also assist in utilizing that waiver to help you reach your goals of employment.

We believe in “Employment First”, which means that your job will be in the community, working with individuals of all abilities, earning minimum wage or higher. We can work with you and your case manager to find a schedule that will work with your needs, as well as the employer’s, so that you can achieve success on the job site.
