OVR teamed up with First Lady Lori Shapiro and Ben Kirshner, the Shapiro Administration’s chief transformation and opportunity officer, to successfully place Jerome Hall as a kitchen utility worker at Finley Catering in Philadelphia!

OVR partnered with Brown Reentry Consulting to provide on-site job coaching and Supported Employment services, helping with training and workplace integration. The employer also received on-the-job training (OJT) wage reimbursement – covering up to 90 days of wages to offset training time.

If you are a business interested in partnering with OVR, reach out to the OVR business services team at RA-LIOVR-BSOD@pa.gov.

Happy Halloween!

Want to hear a spooky fact? Neurodiverse people are more likely to be unemployed than people with any other disability. Unemployment for neurodivergent adults runs at least as high as 30-40% which is 3 times the rate for people with disability, and 8 times the rate for people without disabilities.

We want to fight for equality and inclusion in the workplace for people with all disabilities, including those with Down Syndrome and other neurodivergent individuals.

Do you know of businesses that strive to hire neurodivergent individuals? Share them with us!

Benefits Counseling can be one of the most important tools for successfully attaining and maintaining employment for individuals with disabilities. It can also be complicated but very much worth the effort. That is why members of the PaRC have created a ‘Benefits Corner,’ a compiled list of helpful resources on benefits counseling topics and OVR services.
Check the PaRC's Benefits Corner regularly for more updates and resources: https://parehabilitationcouncil.org/benefits-corner/
