Narrative

The Supported Employment Program enables our people to engage in competitive community employment. This helps them to maximize their independence in the community.
 
Direct Support Proffessionals (DSP) are provided to employers and work with our people to ensure jobs are completed in a timely and professional manner.
 
Workers are available for: Stockroom/warehouse duties, packaging, janitorial and housekeeping services, landscaping, food services, attendants, delivery services, etc.
 
Benefits to employers:
 
 * Onsite job coaching supports and supervision
 * Targeted Tax Credits
 *  Back up workers
 *  Employees who really want to work
 
Autism Services also provides Community Based Day Supports, Day Habilitation and we contract with DDS in providing our own transportation to the persons we serve.
