Understanding Blindness for Successful Employment Outcomes

CCER and the Washington State Department of Services for the Blind (DSB)
are partnering to establish a Preferred Provider List of qualified Job
Development specialists to work with DSB participants to assist them in
achieving successful employment outcomes.   Individual Job Developers
will be qualified for the Preferred Provider List (PPL) of vendors with
DSB in all areas of the state.  Preferred Providers will be the first
choice of referral for DSB participants to Job Development Services. 

These one-day training sessions will assist vendors to understand:

* The wide range of abilities of people with blindness and low vision
* How people are able to work using a variety of strategies and tailored
accommodations
* Low and high tech accommodations
* Employer questions and answers
And much....much....more!
Vendors will have a chance to explore everything they wanted to know
about blindness, but were afraid to ask.

Sessions will also focus on methods to establish an effective working
relationship between the person with the disability, the DSB counselor,
and the vendor in order to maximize the likelihood of getting a job that
fits the goals of each. 

These one day sessions will be repeated at least 7 times in multiple
regions of the state.
