Supported Employment

The TEACCH Employment Services Program serves older persons with autism, helping them to become as independent as possible by assisting them in finding and maintaining useful employment in stable, predictable and rewarding work environments. Since its inception in 1989, this program has used a variety of job support models to assist more than 500 people with autism to secure gainful employment and to become productive, tax-paying members of their communities.The components of the Employment Services Program are vocational assessment, job development, intensive training, and long-term support. Individuals are not required to receive all components of this service. Employment Services receives funding through North Carolina Vocational Rehabilitation Services and a referral should come from your local VR office.
