Achieving Outcomes: A Guide to Interagency Training in Transition and Supported Employment

This manual aids in developing cross-agency and cross-disciplinary inservice training in the areas of transition and supported employment for moderately and severely disabled individuals. Using a "train-the-trainer" approach, the manual outlines goals and objectives and presents strategies for designing inservice workshops and training materials. Section titles and authors include: "Inservice Training in Human Services Agencies and Organizations" (Mike Barcus et al.); "Building Teams among Agencies and Disciplines" (Howard Garner); "Delivering Inservice Training: Effective Audio-Visual Aids, and Room Arrangements" (Tony Dalton et al.); "Guidelines for Training Parents as Part of Interagency Transition Planning Teams" (M. Morton et al.); "Employment Oriented Vocational Skills Training" (Jane Everson et al.); "Interagency Transition Planning Training" (Jane Everson et al.); and "Supported Competitive Employment Training" (Mike Barcus et al.). Each section identifies a target audience for training, defines the role of the staff trainer, delineates goals and objectives to be achieved by staff training, presents a sampling of activities and materials which trainers may use and adapt for inservice training, and lists references and further resources.
