Family Roles in the Job Search

ABOUT THE WEBINAR:

“To Work or Not to Workâ€â€¦ that is a question that is asked by many individuals with disabilities and their families. Having family members and other supportive adults involved in the career preparation and job search strengthens the motivation of individuals with complex disabilities to work. It is critical to encourage the involvement and realize the impact of family members on the positive customized employment outcomes for jobseekers with complex disabilities.

The purpose of this webinar is to provide:

Information about how to encourage the involvement of family members and other supportive adults in the customized employment process.

Strategies about how family members can streamline the evaluation and planning processes.

Specific examples from the real lives of individuals with complex disabilities and their families.
