Map Location Developing Abilities Employment Supports

Narrative

We have employment options for people with significant learning needs who want to develop marketable job-related skills, and find and maintain meaningful employment. We rely on local community businesses and resources to support people enrolled in one or more DDS-funded services, such as Competitive Employment, Group-Employment and Community-based Day Services. We enable people traditionally locked out of the competitive job market to discover their strengths, refine their skills, and keep the job they love. We provide transportation to our four locations in Natick, Westboro, and Northboro, as well individual travel-training and transportation to competitive jobs as needed.
