Supported Employment
Supported Employment is one of the most exciting ways for people with developmental disabilities to achieve full inclusion in the community. Clausen House helps clients choose, obtain, and retain integrated employment in a variety of workplaces. We provide situational assessments, job development and placement, and ongoing training or coaching tailored to the individual's needs.
Clausen House's supported employment partners are very pleased with our clients, some of whom have been employed by the same employer for over 20 years!
Depending on the client's skill set and readiness for work, he or she may be placed in a group that is closely supervised by a trainer, or may receive an individual placement with job coaching suited to his or her needs. Our job coaches work closely with employers to identify and resolve any issues that may affect job performance. The result: Loyal, motivated employees with low turnover and a high level of job satisfaction!
