The Southeast TACE Region IV, a project of the Burton Blatt Institute at Syracuse University and the Florida Center for Inclusive Communities - University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities, University of South Florida hosted a Learning Community on Autism and Employment. It was comprised of four webinars and subsequent conference discussions that provided an introduction to the topic of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and employment for people with ASD. These interactions defined and clarified ASD, shared wonderful and specific examples of cases and practices related to employment from both consumer and provider points-of-view, identified and detailed effective best practices for this topic and resulted in the group's charge of choosing important information from the experience and how to best convey and disseminate it most effectively and efficiently to colleagues.

Regional Spotlight: 

Youth Employment Services

A Project of the South Carolina Vocational Rehabilitation Department

 

In 2006, South Carolina was awarded one of six national RSA transition demonstration grants. Implementation of the Youth Employment Services (YES) program began in October 2007, and October 2011 marked the start of the state's fifth and final year of the grant. The annual review of the grant's objectives and outcomes offered an opportunity to assess what they have learned and what changes the state has made to transition services as a result.

 

Concurrently with the demonstration grant, South Carolina had undertaken a multi-year, agency-wide process to upgrade their Case Management System (CMS), an electronic case management tool. Although this was separate from the transition project, the two are interrelated. Since CMS is now used to develop the Certificate of Eligibility (COE) and the Individual Plan for Employment (IPE) and the information is all available virtually, VR staff can ensure they are connecting each piece of the plan and addressing an individual's functional limitations.

 

As SCVRD proceeded through the CMS upgrade process, specialists developed a program to assist in collecting information that is gathered and explored during vocational assessment. Both extended and abbreviated assessment programs were created, which led to discussion about how the programs could best meet the needs of transition-age students.

 

Through the transition demonstration project, South Carolina developed the Youth Employment Services Program Participant Profile for students. It serves as a student-driven transition assessment tool and includes questions applicable to young adults, who often have limited work experience and few readily apparent transferable skills. VR staff complete the Profile when determining service needs, and can come back and revisit questions periodically as needed (for example, if the young adult's vocational objective changes...which can happen frequently). The Profile covers four domains: Personal, Social, Vocational and Work History. Examples of Profile questions include:

  • How was the Profile information collected? Identify everyone whose information went into developing it.
  • Does the client qualify for free/reduced school lunches? (This and several other questions are required for grant reporting purposes.)
  • What are the client's favorite and least favorite school subjects?
  • What are their skills, abilities, talents and challenges?
  • What are the VRCs personal observations of the client's personality and temperament?
  • What does the student see for the future? What does life look like in five years? (This will likely change. Track the changes over time...what changed and why?)
  • What social activities are they involved in? Extra-curricular activities?
  • What is their family membership (living with grandma, parent incarcerated, etc.)?
  • Who in the family is employed and what does the young person know about that occupation? (This is what the youth has been exposed to and also provides possible connections.)
  • What are the young person's responsibilities at home (for example, getting grandpa to medical appointments)?
  • Who is someone the client knows (not a star...someone they actually know) whom they admire?
  • What are their vocational interests?
  • What is their knowledge of job search fundamentals?
  • Have they had any work experience?

South Carolina VR has been using the YES Participant Profile for four years now within the YES program, and has since moved it online as part of the CMS program. The process is similar to Discovery, and includes spending time (over the course of a couple of meetings) talking to the student to develop a vocational objective. It takes more time than the process it replaced and counselors are adjusting, but it results in realistic vocational objectives based on things the students can achieve and are interested in. It also helps students develop higher expectations for themselves. Too often, young adults with disabilities have experienced a number of challenges in their lives and transition services are intended to set them up to succeed. The Profile helps counselors identify good matches for careers. It ensures decisions are based on reliable information from a variety of sources, and that crucial aspects such as interests, educational requirements, and the likely work environment are taken into account.

 

In August 2011, the state implemented this assessment process for all transition students and follow up on the implementation is underway. Initial training focused on items such as: how to most effectively ask the questions, how to integrate information from multiple sources, how to help young people vision where they want to be in five years, and more.

 

As another component of the YES transition demonstration grant, VR transition staff in project counties are primarily located in the schools, which offers them more access to the students. Students in the pilot sites are referred to VR as sophomores and the VR staff members provide group activities at least two times per semester. Earlier referrals allow time to develop a relationship with the student and his or her parents; paint a clearer picture of the student's interests, goals and needs; develop a quality IPE by the time they leave high school; and establish a mentor relationship with the student.

 

To make implementation manageable and increase the chances for having a noticeable positive impact, the transition demonstration was phased in across four sites, chosen because they had large numbers of students and also had challenging demographics in the areas. Two sites were brought up in year one and two additional sites in the second year of the grant. As a result of the project implementation, referrals and total number of clients served have increased. The goal is to maintain this increase.

 

South Carolina is committed to successful transitions for eligible students in its high schools. Transition services are provided statewide, which include VRCs serving students in the schools. The NCWD/Youth Guideposts for Success, which were originally used in the High School/High Tech program and were subsequently included in the transition demonstration grant activities, are now used to guide service provision for all transition students. South Carolina aligned the "Guideposts" and 20 of NSTTAC's Educational Best Practices with VR services to create a Transition Service Matrix. This gives VRCs a framework for providing a full range of activities for transition-aged students. As an example, National Disability Mentoring Day is promoted to get students into job shadows in their interest areas. This gives them the chance to learn what they do and don't want to do and is another way to make connections. Work experiences are also a focus for all students.

The 411 on Disability Disclosure: A Workbook for Youth with Disabilities helps young people make informed decisions about whether or not to disclose their disability and understand how that decision may impact their lives.

 

In the January webinar "Disability Disclosure in the Workplace: What Employers Should Know," Sarah von Schrader, Ph.D., assistant director of research for the Employment and Disability Institute of Cornell University, described findings from the research report, Emerging Employment Issues for People with Disabilities, released Dec. 7, 2011, by Cornell's Employment and Disability Institute and the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD). Findings discussed during the webinar include:

  • People are most likely to disclose their disability when they need an accommodation or have a supportive supervisor.
  • They are least likely to do so if they fear they will lose a job or fail to gain one by doing so.
  • Employers are unable to provide accommodations that might improve employee productivity when they are unaware an employee has a disability.
  • Some individuals "have learned the hard way to be cautious" about what they reveal to co-workers and supervisors. "There is a common and not unfounded fear that disclosing a disability may lead to not being selected for a position or result in differential treatment in the workplace."
  • Employees with disabilities are concerned the employer might focus more on disability than on their abilities.
  • They fear losing health care, limiting their opportunities for promotion, encountering an unsupportive supervisor, and being treated differently by supervisors or co-workers. Harassment and bullying are also concerns.
  • Timing of disclosure is considered important. Many respondents said they preferred to wait until they had been hired to disclose their disability.

According to von Schrader, the concerns cited are for the most part unrealized. "Most people have neutral or positive consequences from disclosure," she said during the webinar. Less than 27 percent said they had experienced negative consequences.
