Definition: On-the-job occupational skill training by a DVR participant with a specific employer

Goal: To assist the participant in obtaining the specific occupational skills competitive employment levels of competency.

Outcomes:
  • To obtain specific occupational skills necessary to perform the essential functions of a specific job
  • To increase skill in negotiating the psychosocial work environment
  • To increase skill in managing activities related to work
1. On-the-job training full support.
This option is typical for the early phases of employment when 1:1 supervision and training at the work place is appropriate, and includes:
  • task analysis
  • development and implementation of individualized behavioral training curricula
  • establishing natural supports
  • coordinating the training process with the participant's personal support system
  • training/advising/consulting with supervisors and/or co-workers
2. On-the-job training partial support (negotiated on a performance basis).
Partial support includes the services described under full support, but at a greatly reduced level designed to insure the success of the participant's training.

Auxiliary services include:

3. Transportation training (plan-development; training negotiated on a performance basis).
The ability to successfully access transportation systems may be a critical component of the participant's employability. Transportation training includes developing a mobility-training program from home to work and/or other community resources for the participant. It may include 1:1 training on using the bus system or other modes of transportation.
