Programming for Individuals with Developmental Disabilities
Delmarva Works
People with steady employment are less likely to live in poverty and more likely to be healthy. Delmarva Works is dedicated to supporting adults with varying levels of abilities in making decisions about how they spend their days and reach career and occupational goals through informed choice. Last year, we placed 30 individuals in competitive, integrated employment.
Our Approach
Assess Goals, Strengths, Growth Opportunities, Explore, Empower Informed Choice
1. Our Job Coaches work with individuals to learn about their interests, employment aspirations, strengths and skills.
2. We work with our clients to develop a Person-Centered-Plan based on what is learned during the assessment.
3. Our clients explore options for achieving their goals related to employment through Meaningful Day activities including site visits to employers, presentations by people representing different occupations, hands-on activities like weaving and volunteering.
Delmarva Works is a designated provider of services as specified by the Maryland Developmental Disabilities Administration Employment 1st initiative. Assisted transportation services are available through Delmarva Community Transit, a program of Delmarva Community Services.
