Disability employment services support adults with developmental disabilities, autism, or other complex needs to find, prepare for, and maintain meaningful employment in the community. Services typically include job readiness coaching, resume and interview support, employer outreach, and on-the-job support once a placement is secured. Finding a job is a critical first step for adults with developmental disabilities who want to be self-reliant and have their own money.

RCHS employment services are designed for adults with developmental disabilities and other complex support needs who are ready to explore or pursue community employment. We work with individuals at all stages — from those exploring work for the first time to those who have previous employment experience and are seeking better placement or additional support.

Supported employment matches individuals with jobs that align with their skills, interests, and abilities — then provides ongoing coaching and support both to the employee and the employer. A job coach provides individualized employment support with job search, resume and cover letter development, interview preparation, and on-the-job support in partnership with the employer. RCHS follows this same model, ensuring every placement is set up for long-term success.

Standard job placement agencies focus on matching candidates to open roles. Disability employment services go further — they provide individualized preparation, accommodation planning, and sustained support after placement to ensure the person stays employed and thrives. An employment specialist works with you to figure out what supports you need to help you get and keep a job — not just find one.
