We understand you may have concerns regarding the employee’s performance due to their disability, and that is why our presence is important. The employment specialist/job coach will acclimate the employee to the work environment. With us there providing guidance, we make sure they are meeting your production standards and essential functions of the job. Our presence at the job is consistent until the employee has learned 100% of the job.
