The importance of CHOICE,  the joy of WORK, the power of COMPASSION.

Youth in Transition:

MARC Centers work with high school students with disabilities who will be leaving the public school system and enter the world of work. While working with the school system, MARC assists students in career planning and preparedness. MARC also offers assistance with work experience, on the job training, job shadowing and other activities involved in job development. MARC offers job placement and ongoing support for students in their later years of high school to ensure a smooth transition from school to work.

Family/Guardian Involvement:

Participant and guardian input direct the individual plan. MARC staff are committed to a team concept. Each team is centered on the individual with a disability. We respect that each member of the team has a different and valuable contribution in the life of the individual we support. During the initial Assessment process, much time is spent getting to know each individual and their team members. Information about the individual, their interests, preferences, medical needs, etc. is gathered. Services are explained, questions answered, and the wishes and expectations of the entire team are discussed. During the assessment process, visits to the MARC Programs are scheduled and observations are completed. Planning, which includes looking at future dreams, goals and desires, is discussed.
