Keep Phase Services
Want help achieving your workplace goals or talking with your boss?
During Keep Phase we provide individualized support to help you succeed in your job!
Our model is to provide more intensive initial support and then fade back our support to foster independence and a genuine employment relationship between the person we’re supporting and their employer.
Services are tailored to YOU, but here are some ways that we support our participants at their jobsite…
-
Intensive initial support to learn the job and how to navigate the workplace
Typically 1-1, on-the-job support for only the first few shifts and then we fade our support.
-
Breaking larger responsibilities into smaller tasks and creating assistive tools, visual aids, and checklists
-
Training on job responsibilities, appropriate workplace behavior, and/or professional workplace relationships
-
Researching available transportation options and providing transportation training
-
Coaching to understand wages and benefits
-
Guidance and support navigating the “interactive process” with employer to request workplace accommodations
-
Assistance connecting with assistive technology resources
-
Assistance in receiving a promotion or a raise
-
Maintaining regular contact with the employer to support continued success as needs arises
-
Building independence and identifying areas where staff support can be reduced, ended, or transitioned to a natural support
