Disability Services Individual Employment Individual Employment or IE assists individuals to obtain and maintain jobs in businesses in their communities. We provide individualized job development which focuses on the participant as the leader of the process.

Once a person is hired, our team of work trainers join the new employee and walk with them through the orientation process and provide ongoing support to the employer and employee.
