Competitive integrated employment offers people with disabilities the opportunity to work with wages that are at a minimum rate or higher and one comparable to non-disabled workers performing the same tasks. This allows them to be more self-sufficient in the community. When engaging in competitive integrated employment, participants experience customized employment and workplace support to accommodate their specific capabilities in line with the business needs of the employer.
Workplace support and customized employment may involve modifications to the employee’s work environment to help them get the job done right, changes to certain job functions so the employee can successfully perform them, and adjustments to policies and practices to support the employee with disabilities.
