Talent Deserves a Place to Shine.
United Hands follows an Employment First approach: competitive, integrated employment should be considered first when it aligns with an individual’s goals, strengths, interests, and support needs.
Services may begin with discovery and employment readiness, progress to job development and placement assistance, and continue with authorized on-the-job support to help individuals succeed and maintain employment.
Services May Include
Employment Readiness
Work habits, communication, stamina, safety, task skills, transportation awareness, and confidence.
Employment Assistance
Strength and interest discovery, job search, employer outreach, applications, interviews, negotiation, and starting a job.
Supported Employment
Individualized support to maintain employment, learn tasks, communicate at work, address barriers, and promote natural workplace supports.
The Right Job—not Just Any Job.
Success means work that reflects the person’s interests and abilities, is integrated when possible, pays a competitive wage, respects choice, and creates room to grow. Employment or a specific wage is not guaranteed; United Hands brings persistence, creativity, and partnership to the process.
