Supported Employment

Finding a fulfilling job is an important component of living a meaningful life. It provides a sense of purpose while building in a much-needed routine and structure. At LIFE, we believe that everyone deserves the chance to answer the question, “So what do you do for a living?”

Our employment team helps adults with autism, learning and intellectual disabilities pursue a job they truly want, in an environment they want to be in. To accomplish this, building and sustaining partnerships with local businesses is of upmost importance.

The LIFE employment team is constantly nurturing local business relationships to help individuals find a job that is suited to their unique strengths. Our philosophy is “The right job, not the first job”. It’s important to remember that the process takes time as we ensure that we are setting LIFE individuals up for success in a job that they can maintain for a long time.

LIFE’s individualized employment support includes discovery and assessment, job coaching, and job development.

For individuals who are exploring their preferred work environments, interests, and a general assessment of their strengths, we offer a Community-based Day Services (CBDS) program in Plymouth, MA and on Cape Cod in Sandwich, MA.
