SUPPORTING THE WHOLE PERSON
Residential
Supports
Supporting individuals challenged by intellectual and other developmental disabilities to live, work and play in, and contribute to our community. Tahoma Associates owns and operates two group homes and offers staffing for Supported Living services.
Supported Employment
Tahoma’s Associate’s Employment Specialists help job seekers find and retain employment. Tahoma offers supports including, but not limited to on-the-job training, skill building, interviewing, job accommodations, placement, and follow-up visits. The goal of this program is to match individuals with a job in the community that fits their interests and abilities while also meeting the demands of an employer.
Group Supported Employment
Groups of people report to various jobsites in the community, supervised by Tahoma’s staff. Work training performed under contract includes litter pick-up, residential and business grounds maintenance. Each participant in this program has an individualized service plan tailored for personal growth, social and skill development.
Community
Inclusion
Individuals whose personal goals do not include employment can participate in community events they enjoy and which expand their circle of friends. Individualized activities are facilitated by staff, linking them to others who share common interests in learning, sports, religion, culture and community.
