Shifting from Caregiver to Advisor & the Impact on Employment Outcomes

Описание: This Q&A is part of the St. Louis Arc's National Disability Employment Awareness Month Q&A Series.

Parents want to set their children up for independence and successful employment, but it is still difficult to transition from a caregiving role to a supporting role. Throughout the employment journey it is important for individuals to set realistic expectations and goals and then to share those with their parents. The journey to employment may not be a straight path and may involve trial and error before finding success, so it is vital to the individual that their parents are supportive as they navigate the workforce. Join us to learn how parents can be supportive as their child is building their independent living skills while on the employment journey.
