Organizations Filed Purposes:
WE ARE COMMITTED TO OPENING HEARTS AND MINDS TO WHAT THOSE WITH DISABILITIES CAN DO AND HIGHLIGHT THE PREVIOUSLY UNRECOGNIZED DIVERSE ABILITIES. BY EXEMPLIFYING THESE ABILITIES WE SUPPORT GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY AND FOCUS THE OPPORTUNITIES OF OUR CLIENTS THROUGH CAREERS THAT WILL ULTIMATELY LEAD TO A GREATER LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE AND INDEPENDENCE.
EMPOWER ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES TO ACHIEVE THEIR MAXIMUM POTENTIAL AND LEAD FULFILLING LIVES WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.
OUR CAREER SERVICES FOR ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES INCLUDES OUR FLAGSHIP SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT -WHICH WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PROGRAMS IN TEXAS OVER 30 YEARS AGO TO TRAIN ADULTS WITH COGNITIVE DISABILITIES FOR MEANINGFUL JOBS AND MATCH THEM WITH COMPANIES NEEDING THEIR SKILLS. WE HELP ADULTS WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES, BRAIN INJURY AND OTHER COGNITIVE DISABILITIES BUILD INDEPENDENCE THROUGH MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT. IN ADDITION TO OUR ONE-ON-ONE SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT SERVICES, WE ALSO HAVE PROVIDED SINCE 2010 AN INNOVATIVE SERVICE CALLED THE ACADEMY IN COLLABORATION WITH LARGE EMPLOYERS. THIS PRE-JOB TRAINING TEACHES BOTH ON-THE-JOB SKILLS AND CRITICAL LIFE SKILLS IN ORDER FOR THEM TO GAIN ACCESS TO CAREERS THEY OTHERWISE WOULD NOT BE CANDIDATES FOR IN COMPLEX, BUT GROWING INDUSTRIES. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OUR CLIENTS UTILIZE SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT OR ATTEND THE ACADEMY, WE PROVIDE ASSESSMENT OF CLIENT SKILLS AND INTERESTS, CAREER PLANNING, JOB PLACEMENT, AS WELL AS ONSITE TRAINING AND ONGOING ASSISTANCE AFTER THE PERSON IS ON THE JOB. LAUCHABILITY TRANSFORMS THE LIVES OF THESE ADULTS, HELPING TAX CONSUMERS BECOME TAXPAYERS AND INCLUDED MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. IN FY2015, THE PROGRAM SERVED OVER 180 ADULTS WITH COGNITIVE DISABILITIES. OUR SERVICE AREA INCLUDES DALLAS, COLLIN, AND DENTON COUNTIES.
