JCDS offers a variety of on-site and community-based Day Service options for individuals with all levels of support needs. Many participants take advantage of multiple programs and "build their day" according to personal preferences and requirements.
Employment Services
Subcontract (Center-Based) Employment is designed for people who desire consistent support and instruction while performing paid piece-rate work. Participants earn a wage based on productivity while completing important assembly, packaging, and other subcontract tasks at the Elmore Center.
Supported Employment offers full or part-time employment opportunities to individuals or to small groups of people with disabilities (generally 3-6) seeking work at local community businesses but who need on-going support. The workers are trained, supervised, and supported at the company's job site by a JCDS job coach and work among employees who are not disabled to fulfill contractual agreements.
Community Employment places a person with a developmental disability in a job in the community business which best suits his/her abilities and preferences. Training is provided by a JCDS job coach at the work site to help the worker develop job skills and work-related procedures and behaviors. Support continues until the individual no longer depends on the job coach to perform assigned tasks or routines at an acceptable level.
Life Enrichment Supports
Life Enrichment Supports are especially designed for individulas who want a day program that includes opportunities for non-work as well as work-related activities. It seeks to address each participant's need for achievement of personal goals, maximum participation in the community, and ability to exercise greater control over their lives and how they spend their time.
Life Enrichment Supports offer a variety of leisure, social, therapeutic, and volunteer opportunites. Flexible scheduling enables participants to move easily between work services and enrichment activities within the same building and the same day.
