Do you ever wish there was one training for parents and families that provided thorough information about how their children can obtain competitive employment aligned with their interests? Wouldn’t it be great if this training also provided extensive information about supported/customized employment, employer and employee supports, benefits, work incentives, and savings? How awesome would it be if this training included specific information related to Indiana about all of these topics? And if it was also FREE?
