In addition to The Office of Developmental Programs' (ODP’s) services which directly support employment goals, other services may be utilized to support people in obtaining and maintaining employment. These services, sometimes called “wrap around” services, may be available even if someone:
• receives employment services funded by ODP;
• has employment services funded by another source, like The Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR), or
• maintains their employment without direct employment supports or services.
Join the ODP staff to review the most commonly used “wrap around” services and learn how they can be successfully incorporated into Individual Support Plans to further support employment goals.
