The Community-Based Services Work Adjustment Program provides vocational assessment, work adjustment training, social adjustment training, extended sheltered employment, transitional/supported employment, and competitive job training and placement through on-the-job training at natural community work sites. The program serves mentally retarded, emotionally disturbed, deaf-blind, and learning-disabled individuals, aged 14 or older. The program's goal is to facilitate the establishment of independent vocational skills, through individual and group training and work-related counseling. Student workers are expected to become competent in the skills of: work orientation, punctuality/attendance, attention to task, safety on the job, co-worker interaction, supervisor interaction, quality and speed of production, and independent transportation. Specific objectives for each area of skill development are outlined, along with appropriate training activities. Training activities utilize such techniques as individual instruction in performing work tasks and in self-monitoring, work critiques, various levels of training assistance, and individual/group instruction and counseling in work-related behaviors. Admission and discharge criteria for students are described. A copy of the Student Worker Assessment Checklist is included. (JDD)
