Training and Promotion of Employment with Support

From the experience obtained along the years in which we have been working in the insertion in the work world of employees with intellectual disabilities we can assert that these people need more individualized trainings than their peers. That is why one of the aims of the project of Promotion and Training for Employment with Support is that employees can have different spaces where more time for training can be given to them with the necessary tools and that they can improve those work models required.
Different meetings are planned along the year.

The modality is through different work plans. These ones can be single or in group.

Single Modality

We have worked in certain cases using different activities where the concepts to be treated were:

1. Tasks where they have failures concerning time, excess of details and the quality of the finished work.

3. The steps of the work to be done.
4. Use of timetables.
5. Understanding of the instructions.
6. Acceptance of the limits.

8. Reinforcement and training in the different positions.
9. Observations at the work position.
10. Perception and understanding of the correct behaving.
