Developed through a decade of research and field-testing with more than 700 people, this practical book is one of the first to offer step-by-step strategies for helping youth and adults with mild, moderate, or severe disabilities make their own employment choices. The authors present a detailed overview of their Self-Directed Employment (SDE) model, in which individuals actively participate in all aspects of assessing interests and skills, choosing a job, evaluating whether the job meets their expectations, and solving on-the-job problems. The book also includes the materials professionals need to guide individuals through this process, including more than 75 pages of phorocopiable forms, "What If" sections that address difficult scenarios, information on requirements and accommodations, and tips on changing jobs and discovering strengths. Buyers of the book also get access to a web site with hundreds of additional illustrations, so users can customize the materials.
