Early Reach and OVR at Brookwood
Unlocking Vocational Potential for Students
Abstract
One of the largest issues facing people with special needs is potential for sustainable, meaningful, and productive employment. Recently, The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), places extensive emphasis on the achievement of competitive integrated employment for individuals with disabilities which is defined by providing: 1.) competitive earnings, 2.) integrated location in the community, and 3.) opportunities for advancement. In reality, however, many high school students with a disability need vocational guidance and assistance in preparing for, obtaining, or maintaining competitive employment. At Woods Services, the Brookwood School provides vocational and independent living training to students with disabilities. Specifically, the program is dedicated to helping students to prepare for competitive employment in the community.
