Review/Update of Adult Day Services Directory:
Supportive Employment has been changed to ACCESS VR, formerly known as VESID
Work Readiness is teaching an individual the basic understanding of work
For Example: teaching the individual how to fill out an application
E-SEMP is designed to allow flexibility in development of the individual employment outcomes and affords individuals with significant barriers the opportunity to work in the community. Time and duration of staff support is flexible
Discussion was held as to if ESEMP and Supportive Employment should be listed separately in the Manhattan Adult Day Services Directory and a new section will be incorporated into the directory.
