Maximum Support Services proposes to support individuals and support their choice in choosing what they want to be happy and successful to live the lives they dream of. Our Employment Services employees will assist with a time-limited comprehensive, person-centered, and community-based employment planning support service to assist the participant to check their abilities, conditions, and interests. In the discovery phase, our team will not be limited to making sure that there are visits to a participant’s home, a review of community employers, job trials, and the participant’s interest inventory to develop a Discovery Profile and picture resume.
Discovery
Discovery (3 milestones) is a time-limited comprehensive, person-centered, community-based employment planning process. In the discovery phase, our team will assist the participant in finding out who they are, what they want to do, and what they have to offer. Our team will work with participants to conduct a review of community employers, job trials, and the participant’s interest inventory to develop a Discovery Profile and picture resume.
Job Development
Maximum Support Services will provide job development services that support participants in finding a job, which includes customized employment and self-employment. Job Development provides customized employment and a flexible process to personalize the employment relationship between a job candidate and an employer in a way that meets the needs of both based on an individualized match between the strengths, conditions, and interests of a job candidate and the identified business needs of an employer. Self-employment assists participants in exploring how their interests, skills, and abilities might be suited for the development of business ownership.
Ongoing Job Support
Maximum Support Services will provide Ongoing job support that will help the participant to learn and complete job tasks either when beginning a new job, after a promotion, or after a significant change in duties or circumstances and provide individualized support a participant may need to maintain their job in the community successfully. Maximum Support Services provides Ongoing Job Support that includes job coaching, facilitating the provision of natural supports in the workplace, systematic instruction, travel training to commute independently to the job, personal care assistance, behavioral supports, and delegated nursing tasks, if needed to support the employment activity. Maximum Support Services will provide various support participants need to successfully maintain their job in the community.
Follow Along Support
Maximum Support Services will provide Follow-Along Support which provides periodic support after a participant has transitioned into their job. The Maximum Support Services will work with the participant to ensure the participant has the assistance necessary to maintain their job and include at least two face-to-face contacts with the participant over each month.
Self-Employment
Maximum Support Services will aid individuals with developmental disabilities in the development of a business and marketing plan for the participant, including potential sources of business, financing, and other assistance in developing and launching a business. The team will work with participants whose discovery activities and profiles indicate a specific skill or interest that would benefit from resource ownership or small business operation.
Co-Worker Employment Support
Co-Worker Employment Support provides support to a participant when an employer has identified that an onsite job coach would not be optimal, yet the participant could still benefit from additional support. This service is a time-limited support provided by the employer to assist the participant, upon employment, with extended orientation and training beyond what is typically provided for an employee. Also, a relative of a participant in self-directed services, who is not a spouse or legally responsible person, may be paid to provide this service.
