Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Customized employment is based on an individualized approach that matches a job seeker's strengths, interests, and abilities with the needs of an employer. It may involve carving out a job specifically tailored to an individual or adapting an existing job to better meet their needs. This type of employment is more individualized than supported employment, which offers ongoing support in a competitive work setting, but may not be as specifically tailored to an individual's strengths and interests. Competitive employment refers to work in an integrated setting where employees with and without disabilities work alongside one another. Sheltered employment typically refers to work in a segregated setting where the majority of employees have disabilities and the work is often low-paying and menial.
