Adult Services through the Licking County Board of
Developmental Disabilities provides employment
opportunities with various levels of support and
non-vocational activities that promote independence and
personal growth. By experiencing work and/or quality
activities, adults build the skills necessary to achieve
the goals they set for themselves. With the level of
support needed, adults attempt new tasks, celebrate
accomplishments and gain confidence. Adult Services
continually provides opportunities for adults to acquire
confidence, self-esteem and willingness to try new
things, the building blocks to achievement. LICCO Inc.,
Community Employment Services and the LCBDD Adult
Services department is located at 600 Industrial
Parkway, Heath, OH 43056. For more information,

SHELTERED EMPLOYMENT
The Licking County Board of Developmental Disabilities
Adult Services provides sheltered employment
opportunities to individuals eligible for agency
services in partnership with the non-profit
organization, LICCO Inc. Work is procured from area
businesses on a contract basis, and LICCO employees are
compensated according to their individual productivity
and the local prevailing wage for similar jobs.
Employees receive personalized support to maximize their
potential and increase their independence in performing
assignments.
SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT
Community Employment Services (CES) offers job
development, job coaching, job follow-along and other
support services to help individuals acquire and retain
employment in the community. CES staff members work with
adults in a variety of work environments to promote
individual success including enclave (contracted,
on-site) supported employment, community-supported
employment and competitive employment.
SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT - ENCLAVE
The enclave environment is similar in work
responsibility as sheltered workshop employment but with
slightly less support. Individuals are employees of
LICCO Inc. and work on site at local businesses. CES
staff work with employees at these locations and assist
them with meeting contract demands. Staff enhance the
work skills of the employees and provide employment
solutions to the businesses.
SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT - COMMUNITY
Individuals employed by LICCO Inc. work at local
businesses with ongoing support from CES job coaches.
Employees work more directly with the employees of the
host business, which holds these individuals to the same
expectations as it does other employees.
COMPETITIVE EMPLOYMENT
At the competitive employment level, individuals are
assisted by CES staff in their job search and
temporarily supported by job coaches once employed.
Businesses directly hire employees in this arrangement.
Job coaches eventually fade from the environment based
on employee progress and employer recommendations. Job
coaching staff provides regular follow-up to assure that
individuals continue to experience success and
businesses receive the support they need.
SCHOOL-TO-WORK TRANSITION SERVICES
Adult Services staff work
with students with disabilities, their families and
school personnel to plan and coordinate services
designed to prepare students for adult responsibilities,
including finding a job after high school graduation.
The Adult Services staff will work closely with school
staff upon request to identify appropriate placement for
individual students. For more information, please
contact Debbie Pound at (740) 522-8345, or (800)
247-1636.
ADULT
DAY SUPPORT
Adult Services offers non-vocational support, such as
personal care, skill development and recreation/leisure
activities, in collaboration with other community
providers. These services are provided to build
independence among individuals served in areas other
than work. Please call LICCO Inc. at (740)
522-8345 for more information.
