We accomplish this through a series of steps bit by bit giving the individual successful control of the decisions in their life.

teaching skills needed for our local economy

When planning for generalization from the inception of programing, we at all times, keep in mind employment opportunities for the individual we are serving. We deliberately and objectively shape behaviors that will be marketable in the local workplace.

supporting positive behavior in the workplace

It is important to look for jobs in the community that will complement the ecobehavioral design and will set the person up for success. However, it is equally important that we help the person cope with unwanted and un- predictable stimuli that will be present in the community.

nothing is impossible

When talking to people about the dynamic of behavior and employment it is crucial to understand that the only person limiting the individual from success is the expectations that we have of them. We must think outside the box to facilitate the gifts that the individual has to offer our community.
