Services through the Licking County Board of MRDD

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.

Schirtzinger

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.

Lisa Dunaway, Linda Hogue or Sam
Schirtzinger
(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.

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.
