Description
Students will learn the vocational factors that need to be reviewed and considered prior to developing a vocational goal and implementing an Individual Plan for Employment (IPE) for a qualified individual with a disability. This will include appropriate vocational assessment tools including the Job Readiness Assessment used in the Bureau of Rehabilitation Services and other sources for understanding medical and psychological diagnosis and their relationship to functional capacities of individuals with disabilities. Labor market surveys, general marketing and other business community relationship building will be reviewed. Specific intervention, accommodation and other on-site supports will be discussed both from a theoretical and practical perspective. Actual skill acquisition modules will be presented as case studies that will provide opportunities to use the knowledge gained in real-world applications.
