Presentation by Consultant, Susan Harrell and Jefferson County DD Coordinator, Anna McEnery re: Supported Employment: Anna McEnery introduced Susan Harrell who is a consultant with the Washington Initiative for Supported Employment. Susan Harrell stated that State and local governments need to set an example by hiring people with disabilities. She works with employers to create employment opportunities for a variety of workers with developmental disabilities. Jefferson County has 302 employees and the goal is to have 9 or 10 people with disabilities working for the County. Individuals with disabilities have job coaches at their workplace that also work with other employees to provide information and support. Companies that have hired people with disabilities have seen increased teamwork and they feel good about extending the opportunity to an individual to build a life within the community and workplace. Individuals with disabilities usually live on social security and this gives them an opportunity to have a job with benefits. She has meetings scheduled with Public Health, the Department of Community Development, and Information Services to discuss employment. Encouragement from above helps Department Heads start thinking about hiring individuals with developmental disabilities.
