ASL Services contracts job coaching services for Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and Deaf/Blind Clients. Job coaching services may be funded through a variety of sources. Job coaching services our agency provides may include:
An important role of the job coach is to act as a liaison between employer and employee to eliminate any barriers that may arise on the job due to a hearing loss or use of sign language. This includes job assessment, training in Deaf culture, teaching effective communication to the hearing and Deaf in the workplace, and making resources available to both the employer and the employee. The Pennsylvania Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR) is a State Agency that provides services to help persons with disabilities prepare for, start, and maintain employment.
