Special Needs Programs

GROUP SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT (GSE)

Group Supported Employment (GSE) assists in finding work for special needs adults, and provides members with an on-site supervised work environment in a community employment setting. This allows the members to improve their employment skills with the assistance of a job coach while in a safe but more independent environment. While working GSE members make at least minimum wage.

Ability promotes community integration with other members of the workforce. We have partnered with various local businesses that currently employ our members.

These businesses include:

• Culver’s
• Best Deals A to Z
• Sacred Heart Church
• Heights Church
• Ability Remodeling
• St. Vincent de Paul
• Saint Luke’s Episcopal Church
