Use Case: Building Bridges to Employment
Rebral Experts for Pre-ETS Programs
Enhancing Vocational Pathways for Neurodivergent and IDD Students
In the crucial transition from high school to post-secondary life, students with disabilities encounter unique challenges that demand specialized support. The state’s Vocational Rehabilitation Services Department is dedicated to preparing these students through Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS).
However, finding qualified, cost-effective service providers remains a significant hurdle. Directed Analytics offers a transformative solution with Rebral Experts, delivering tailored support that enhances the employability and future independence of these students.
Seamless Integration for Maximized Impact
In rural, impoverished, and other low-density areas, schools have expressed a critical need for robust employability skills development for neurodivergent and IDD students. Rebral Experts by Directed Analytics steps in to address this gap with a strategic approach:
- Comprehensive Assessment: The Rebral Experts team begins with an in-depth review of existing programs at assigned schools, identifying gaps and inefficiencies in the current employability skills development efforts.
- Strategic Overhaul: We recommend overhauling tools, data sharing practices, and interactions with students, parents, and job sites, aligning with best practices for employability skills development.
- Customized Employability Roadmaps: After assessments, Rebral Experts develops tailored employability skills development roadmaps for each student, establishing clear, quantifiable goals aligned with their capabilities and aspirations.
- Continuous Educator Support and Training: Rebral Experts provides ongoing training and coaching for educators, empowering them with the necessary skills to effectively support their students. Specialists, including licensed psychologists and board-certified behavior analysts, are brought in as needed to address specific mental and behavioral challenges.
- Follow-Up and Continuous Monitoring: Using the Rebral Workforce SaaS platform, Rebral Experts continuously monitors student progress, intervening with corrective actions whenever a student is at risk of not meeting their goals.
Measurable Success and Profound Impact
The effectiveness of Rebral Experts is demonstrated through a significant increase in employment readiness assessment scores, highlighting the added value to the students’ transition processes. These metrics ensure that Pre-ETS meets its objectives more effectively.
Transformative Benefits for All Stakeholders
Integrating Rebral Experts into school programs supervised by the Pre-ETS office yields multiple benefits:
- Access to Specialized Knowledge: Schools gain access to expert knowledge, reducing the workload on educators and filling critical gaps in employability skills development competencies.
- Cost Efficiency and Reduced Need for Additional Staff: Improved processes eliminate wasteful practices, reducing the overall cost per student and decreasing the need for hiring additional staff.
- Increased Funding Opportunities: Successful outcomes and enhanced compliance increase eligibility for additional funding and resources, further supporting the mission of Pre-ETS programs.
- Emotional and Social Rewards: The profound impact on students’ lives brings immense satisfaction to parents, educators, and advocates, who witness remarkable growth and achievements previously deemed unattainable.
