As Medicaid policies evolve, particularly with the introduction of work requirements under H.R.1, it’s crucial for neurodiverse individuals and their families to find supportive services that adapt to these changes. Omega Health Services, operating in Virginia and West Virginia, stands at the forefront of this support, offering tailored programs to ensure that individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities not only meet new requirements but thrive in their communities.
Comprehensive Employment Support
Omega Health Services specializes in assisting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to develop career paths and secure competitive employment. Through personalized “discovery” processes, vocational counselors create customized employment readiness and search plans. These plans encompass job coaching, on-the-job training, and continuous support, ensuring both the individual and their employer experience a successful partnership.
Workplace Assistance Program
Recognizing that some individuals require more than standard job coaching, Omega’s Workplace Assistance Program offers supplementary on-site support. This includes assistance with behavior management, health needs, time management, and other essential skills critical to maintaining employment. Such comprehensive support ensures sustained employment and personal growth.
Assessments and Vocational Training
To identify vocational interests and capabilities, Omega provides community and work-based assessments. These evaluations determine the individual’s level of vocational competence and specific programming needs. Situational assessments are conducted in various workplace settings, aligning with the individual’s interests and goals.
