Frequently Asked Questions

Click on a card to reveal the answer.

Typically, no more than any other employee. Plus, many have a job coach who routinely checks in with employer and employee on work quality. Job coaches match employees to roles for greater work success. Agencies identify where adjustments can be made to create an environment that supports the employee’s independence.

What kind of supervision might a person with a disability require?

Of course! Job coaches provide support as employees learn something new. So, if a role is expanded, the employer has support to help their employee develop new skills.

Can employees be cross-trained?

Employers train employees like any other new hire. Your job coach is an additional resource supporting both you and the employee throughout the employment process.

Who trains employees?

Job coaches develop strong professional relationships with their clients. They use that knowledge to make informed matches that set up both the employee and your team for success.

How will I know if an employee will benefit my team?

Preventing injuries and maintaining safety is employers’ responsibility, but employment agencies offer support through job audits that help find potential safety issues and mitigate risk for all workers.

Who is liable for on-the-job injuries?

Before employment begins, clients work with their providers to identify accommodations or supports needed for success. This proactive planning helps ensure a smooth transition, and job coaches remain available to provide guidance and support if new needs arise.

Will I know what accommodations are needed before hiring?

As long as necessary! Job coaches will be available for as long as needed.

How long will I continue to receive the support of the employment agency after hire?

Reach out to one of the employment providers listed here on SeeAbilities.org or call 509-575-4040.

How do I connect with an employment provider?

Although uncommon, because each placement is carefully planned to match the employee’s skills with your business needs, your employment provider will work with you to address concerns and determine a path forward. If the position ultimately isn’t the right fit, other employment opportunities may be explored.
