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, visit LICCO Inc. online at:

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.

  • Contact information: Lisa Dunaway, Linda Hogue or Gary Wimer (740) 522-8345 or (800) 247-1636.

 

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.

  • Contact information: Lisa Dunaway, Linda Hogue or Gary Wimer (740) 522-8345 or (800) 247-1636.

 

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.

  • Contact information: Lisa Dunaway, Linda Hogue or Gary Wimer (740) 522-8345 or (800) 247-1636.

 

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.

  • Contact information: Lisa Dunaway, Linda Hogue or Gary Wimer (740) 522-8345 or (800) 247-1636.

 

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.
