Sherwood’s Supported Employment Services serves adults, 18 and older, who have been referred by their school district or the Missouri Department of Mental Health. Services are provided both on and off-site in a small staff to participant ratio (1:1 to 1:6). Each participant has an Individual Support Plan (ISP) that determines the services that will be provided to help them meet their goals. All individuals served are from the Greater Kansas City area.
The program operates Monday through Friday, 9:00am – 3:00pm, 260 days per year. Additional hours are available based on need.
For individuals who qualify, services are funded by the Missouri Department of Mental Health. Private pay is also available. Additional funding options may be available.
Program Highlights
The goal of Supported Employment is to provide job seekers living with developmental disabilities the opportunity to develop their own unique skills and talents. We achieve this by providing the following services:
Career Planning
Using a carefully constructed series of informational interviews, job exploration, interest and job skills assessments, Sherwood’s Employment Specialists help plan an individual path to employment.
Job Development
Once the path to employment is clear, our team helps the job seeker begin their journey towards successful employment. Our team helps a job seeker create a resume, fill out applications, sharpen interviewing skills, participate in job shadowing, and negotiate with prospective employers to help secure a job that is right for them.
Supported Employment
After the job is accepted and a job seeker is ready to start his or her career, our team continues their support by providing job coaching to ensure the new hire stays on track. These activities include but are not limited to developing work-related skills, navigating social interactions on the job, developing strategies to promote prompt attendance and job retention skills.
Pre-Vocational Services
Prevocational services are available for individuals who want some time to practice their skills before entering the job market. This program focuses on the skills necessary for employment in any industry. This may include but is not limited to specific skill building, volunteer experiences, job shadowing and informational interviewing. These activities take place in individual and group settings.
