Job Development
We work to remove barriers preventing individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities from finding and keeping gainful employment.
Often, with simple modifications or accomodations, a person with a disability can perform his or her job functions at the same level as a person without disabilities.
We work with individuals who receive supports from Opportunity Village, the Clark County School District, the Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation, the Veterans Administration, and/or the Desert Regional Center.
