Transition and Conclusion:

– When a client demonstrates sustained performance and increased independence, a step-down process reduces the intensity of on-site support. – A final employment review meeting documents outcomes and, if necessary, transitions the client to a less intensive ongoing support model. – Anecdotal and quantitative data are stored in the electronic system to evaluate service outcomes and inform future employment support strategies.

Staff Training Requirements:

• Job coaches and vocational specialists must complete comprehensive training on supported employment practices, including legal requirements and employer engagement. • Training is provided during orientation and updated via annual workshops and ongoing professional development sessions.

Documentation Requirements:

• Maintain standardized employment logs, progress reports, and job placement summaries. • Record all communications with employers and document any modifications to the employment plan. • Ensure that service data are securely stored and regularly audited for compliance with regulatory guidelines.

Emergency Protocols:

• In the unlikely event of an emergency at a job site, the job coach must implement immediate crisis procedures as per the employment support guidelines. • Notify the employment program coordinator and, if necessary, emergency services. • Document the incident in an emergency report and follow up with a review session with the client and employer to resolve any ongoing issues.
