SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT

Individual Employment

Our Individual Employment program matches people with IDD to jobs in the community that fit their needs and abilities. The program offers job coaching when needed to ensure success of both employee and employer.

Hundreds of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities go to work every day in offices, stores and restaurants throughout Spokane. They're capable, hardworking, and take pride in what they can achieve.

What We Do

With more than 25 years experience providing employment services for people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD), we can help those who qualify with important job preparation in a group or individual setting, through Washington's Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) and the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR).

Candidates must be approved for funding from DDA or DVR to qualify for services. Contact your DDA or DVR case manager for more information about the approval process.
