Community Inclusion Services Meeting for Individuals with Developmental Disabilities

ACCS_WEB-EVENT-2023-INCLUSION-SERVICES

Join us January 26, 2023 starting at 4 pm at Asotin County Community Services to discuss a great opportunity to explore the fun side of community life. It’s not just about work, after all!

If you receive employment supports through a provider of the Asotin County Developmental Disabilities Contract, Opportunities Unlimited, Goodwill Industries or Asotin County Community Services, you may now access two very different services concurrently! This means that participants who are receiving job coaching and other supported employment services on the job, may also receive support accessing community activities. Hope to see you there!
