Services for getting and starting a job

Notes
The program helps me understand my
employment-related legal rights.
• Does the program explain my rights at work,
like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
and Section 504?
• Does the program teach me how to talk to my
employer about my disability and support
needs?
• Does the program explain what to do if I have
a problem at work, and who I can talk to for
help?

The program offers the support I need to
help me adjust to a new job.
• How will I learn what I need to do at work?
• What help do I have on the job—like watching
someone do the job first, getting reminders, or
learning ways to handle stress?
• Can I get help at my job if I need support while
working?
• If a job coach is part of the program, how long
will they stay with me during each work shift?
• Will someone be with me the whole time I’m at
work, or just part of the time?
• What if I don’t want on-the-job support? What
are other ways you can support me and help
me to succeed?
