Supported Employment Specialized Training Seminar:
Developing Natural Supports in the Workplace

December 6, 2005
Vermont Technical College-Morey Lounge
Randolph, VT
9:00 - 3:30

	This seminar will build on commonly used 
supported employment techniques by emphasizing 
and focusing on available work-site supports.  By 
re-conceptualizing the role of the employment 
specialist to that of a facilitator for social 
inclusion and on-site support, participants will 
begin to redefine the roles of the employment 
specialist and co-workers in the supported 
employment process.  Participants should bring 
examples or concerns with them for discussion and 
problem solving.
	There is a $25.00 registration fee to 
cover costs.  Lunch will be on your own.  For 
information on the training contact Bryan Dague 
at (802) 656-1345.  Registration is limited so 
please register early.  

Topics will include:

… Discussion of the concept of natural supports

… Keeping the "support" in natural supports

… Impact of individual assessment & job development

… Examining the workplace culture and environment

… Role of the employment specialist

… Strategies to facilitate natural supports

… Sharing of participant's successes and challenges


Cost: $25.00 per person. (Scholarships may be available)
