Empowering Employment
At LCDS, we believe that employment is a vital pathway to independence, confidence, and connection. That’s why we collaborate with community employment agencies to support individuals with developmental disabilities in achieving meaningful, competitive employment within their communities.
Hiring people with disabilities is not only a step toward inclusivity—it’s also a smart business decision. Employers who hire people with disabilities often experience increased team motivation, higher morale, reduced turnover rates, and fewer workplace absences, all while discovering incredible, untapped talent.
Our Approach
- Connecting individuals with employment agencies to assist in job searches, resume building, and interview skills to find the right fit.
- Providing onsite job coaching to help employees thrive in their roles.
- Offering ongoing communication and support for both employees and employers, fostering healthy and sustainable working relationships.
