Adults with Disabilities Explore Employment Options in Adult Day Services

Expanding Horizons and Exploring New Opportunities
Stepping Stones’ programs are known for creating fun memories in the summertime, but they also open doors and enable participants to explore new opportunities they had not yet considered.
Take our Adult Day Services program for example, where adults with a wide-range of disabilities engage in regular Employment Exploration activities.
Participants work in small groups to discuss various jobs, role-play to develop interview and on-the-job problem solving skills and routinely volunteer at organizations like Cincinnati Nature Center to gain first-hand experience assembling mailings and working in an office setting.
Independent Living Experiences
Beyond exploring and observing various employment options, Adult Day participants also expand independence by learning how to use public transportation to travel around Greater Cincinnati.In the spring, Stepping Stones partnered with Metro to bring a prototype bus to our Norwood program location. Adults familiarized themselves with loading on and off of a public bus and signaled when they wanted to get off at a stop. This is a valuable independent living skill, both for traveling to and from work and expanding access across the city.
