Work Supports

Meaningful, gainful employment is an integral part of all adult's lives in today's society. It is the means to economic self-sufficiency and independence. It builds self-esteem and enables each person to have a desirable lifestyle. It is the intent of Work Support Services to provide each person an opportunity to take his or her place in our nation’s workforce as a contributing member. It is to this end we provide a choice of meaningful work based on individual interests and skills. This is accomplished through the following different program areas:

Our non-facility based program provides opportunity for work in the community at several locations. This includes The Wise Penny Thrift Store, OSOM Carwash, Community Recycling Center and the Over the Rainbow Daycare.

Our facility-based program provides an opportunity to develop work skills while employed at T & T Services. People employed at this site have a more intense level of supports available to them throughout the workday.

Supported Retirement provides home/apartment based individualized activities for persons who are 62 and over, and have chosen to retire from work. As with any other retired person, they have increased choices in what they do with their time.
