New RRTC Fact Sheet on PAS Vol 3
Providing
Effective Workplace Personal Assistance Services
Workplace Personal Assistance Services (WPAS) is a valuable tool that assists employees with significant disabilities to find and maintain employment. It is fast becoming the most effective method for employees with disabilities to achieve the needed level of production to become effective and efficient in the workplace.
WPAS offers the opportunity for the workplace personal assistant
to be exposed to different disabilities
and all types of work environments. This really makes WPAS a win-win
situation for both the employee and the Workplace Personal Assistant
(WPA). It also enables the employer to add diversity to their workforce
since the employee with the disability and their WPA may come from
different cultural and ethic backgrounds.
This fact sheet is funded by a grant (#H133B040011) with the US DOE - NIDRR.
