Milton Tyree joined us from the US to discuss the significance of suitable employment for people with disabilities. The session focused on the evolution of open employment services over the last 40 years.
One of the most challenging decisions facing employment supporters is determining their own role. It can be hard to know when to get involved and when to step aside. So Milton discussed the best way to instruct and support an employee with a disability.
Related to this role dilemma, Milton examined the relevance of two frameworks for the role of the employment supporter:
- Social Role Valorisation (SRV) theory’s Culturally Valued Analogue (CVA)
- Marc Gold & Associates (MG&A) 7-Phase Sequence
Milton introduced the concept of Discovery. Discovery is an alternative to competitive, comparative methods of traditional vocational assessment. He explained
- the benefits of devoting time to people
- how to discern interests related to work
- how to identify conditions for the employee to be at their best, and
- how to let employers know the contributions that the person can offer to the workplace.
Finally, Milton explained the distinctions between customised jobs and labour market jobs. He introduced the concept of personal representation in job development.
This session has been split into three parts. This is part two.
In part one Milton talked about why employment is important for people with disabilities and explored some ways that open employment has raised the bar for suitably challenging, fitting employment possibilities for people with disability.
