Site Visit Report: Community Work Services.
Racino, Julie Ann
The site visit report describes the private, non-profit Community Work Services program located in Madison, Wisconsin, which provides community-based vocational services to adults (currently 33) with a wide range of developmental disabilities. The program philosophy is that all persons should have the option of working in individually arranged and meaningful community-based jobs and provides whatever level of training, assistance and support an individual requires for such a placement. Some of the promising practices employed by the program include: matching the person to the job; positive relationships with employers and coworkers; flexible, individually designed supports; commitment to the individual; on-site job training; and staffing.
