Inclusive Examples
  • Fading starts at the onset of the employment
    process
  • Watching your physical positioning!
  • Utilize coworkers in problem-solving
  • Look for opportunities to back away (e.g.,
    coworker is teaching the task or interacting)
  • Demystify your role! Explain what you are doing.
  • Be overt Ask coworker to model a task or
    assist with training
  • Be covert Use the restroom, make a phone call,
    ask for help in demonstrating a task.

ISETT, 2002
15
Inclusive Examples
  • Anytime you feel you need to be there, try to
    fine another way create an adaptation, redesign
    a task, use pictures, etc.
  • Make sure the individual takes breaks and lunch
    with others. Trainers should leave unless
    absolutely necessary.
  • Watch for unwritten rules (e.g., seating during
    lunch)

ISETT, 2002
16
Fading Strategies
  • Supervisor and coworkers should be involved right
    from the start
  • Fade systematically
  • Fade toward the natural cues
  • Fade toward the natural supports
  • Fade your proximity and accessibility to the
    worker
  • Move to less and less intrusive types of
    assistance and prompts
  • Increase the amount of time between cues and
    prompts
  • Institute self-management strategies and
    self-reinforcement strategies

17
Systematic Fading
  • Fade too fast increases in worker errors
    longer training time
  • Fade too slowly fosters worker dependence
    longer training time
  • Non-systematic in consistent worker performance
    longer training time.

18
Some Guidelines For Fading and Follow-along
  • 1. Establish a regular schedule of contact with
    the employee and employer. The employment
    specialist will establish a regular schedule of
    contact (e.g., in person, telephone) based on the
    needs of the employee and employer. Work
    performance, social interactions, and
    satisfaction should be assessed.
  • 2. Assess the work performance. How well the
    employee is performing and keeping up with
    company standards is vital for job maintenance. A
    number of factors can be impacting the employees
    performance such as not performing all the steps
    in the task analysis as designed, inefficient use
    of work space, distractions, and the speed of
    performance.
  • Grossi, Schaaf, Steigerwald, Mank (2002)

19
Some Guidelines . . .
  • 3. Assess job satisfaction from the employee and
    the employer. Regular contact with both the
    employee with a disability and the employer will
    determine satisfaction with the work and the
    performance.
  • Develop a long-term support plan. There are a
    number of factors that can influence the
    stability of job. A long-term support plan
    should include strategies that ensure present and
    future supports to ensure job success. This
    comprehensive plan should address areas that may
    result in a job loss such as behavior or health
    needs, preferences, retraining needs for changing
    job duties, co-workers changing, transportation,
    family change, resident change.

20
Some Guidelines
  • 5. Expand and/or monitor natural supports. Since
    the workplace is constantly changing, monitoring
    the naturally occurring workplace supports to
    assist the employee in developing social
    relationships and competency may result in
    increased job retention.
  • 6. Facilitate job changes or career
    advancements. Adult employment is more than
    obtaining a job, but about identifying and
    pursuing a career. Career interests and goals
    should be assessed continuously.
  • 7. Assess social interactions and integration.
    Social integration and interactions in the
    workplace are as critical to the employees
    success as mastering the job duties. Social
    integration is more than just physical proximity.
    Employees must be able to fit in and
    participate within the workplace culture.

21
DATA COLLECTION METHODS
22
Data Collection
  • Provides record of the workers performance
  • Assists with objective evaluation of performance
  • Shows areas for fading and for continued training
  • Calls attention to areas that may need different
    training methods, adaptations, self-management
    systems
  • Can be used as a reinforcement tool for the
    worker
  • Can be shared with employer and co-workers to ask
    for assistance, feedback, new ideas
  • Serves as an accountability tool to funders,
    management, individuals and families

23
Data Collection
  • Data collection should be meaningful, simple
    to use, easy to read, and easy to interpret
  • Probe Data used to find out how the worker is
    doing without any intervention, prompts, or
    reinforcement
  • Trial Data used when training 1-1 to indicate
    where a worker is having difficulty in performing
    specific steps

    industry and allows for evolution
  • The job has enhancing features
  • The expectations of performance are clearly
    defined and stable
  • The employer is committed to diversity
  • The coach has probe data and ongoing
    communication with job site
