Read the first 7 Employment First Values, Person-Centered Planning & Self-Determination flashcards as text

  1. What is 'informed choice' in vocational rehabilitation?

    Answer: The individual makes decisions after receiving full information about options, settings, and providers

    Informed choice gives the person enough information and experiences to choose their goals, services, and providers.

  2. Which professional organization is most closely associated with promoting Employment First and administering the CESP credential?

    Answer: Association of People Supporting EmploymentFirst (APSE)

    APSE leads the Employment First movement and sponsors the CESP certification.

  3. A person tells their specialist they want to quit a job they've held for six months. What should the specialist do first?

    Answer: Have a conversation to understand the person's reasons and explore options, including a new job

    Respecting self-determination means understanding the person's reasons and supporting their choice, including career moves.

  4. In person-centered thinking, the balance between 'important TO' and 'important FOR' a person means:

    Answer: Weighing the person's own preferences alongside health and safety needs

    Person-centered thinking balances what the person values with what keeps them healthy and safe.

  5. Which practice best supports self-determination during a job search?

    Answer: The person takes part in choosing which employers to approach and how to disclose their disability

    Including the person in employer selection and disclosure choices builds control and self-advocacy.

  6. A state that has passed an Employment First policy has generally committed to what?

    Answer: Making competitive integrated employment the first and preferred outcome of publicly funded services

    Employment First policies make integrated employment the priority outcome for people with disabilities who use public services.

  7. Which approach is a less restrictive alternative to full guardianship?

    Answer: Power of attorney or supported decision-making agreement

    Powers of attorney and supported decision-making agreements keep more rights with the individual than guardianship does.
