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.

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

specialist
