Supported Employment Competencies PDF APSE Position on Olmstead and Supported Employment
In 1999, the Association for Persons in Supported Employment issued a call for action to
reverse the wide practice in this country of segregated "employment" for adults with high
support needs. APSE is not alone in publicly stating that individuals with disabilities must
be protected from unnecessary isolation.

Segregated Services for People with Disabilities - by Dale DiLeo and Pat Rogan 1999
We have reached a crisis in the unemployment and underemployment of people with
high support needs who are considered to have the most severe disabilities. Supported
employment, while not yet fully realizing its potential, offers by far the best
opportunities for employment and a career for individuals most at risk of living life without a job.

for Advocates - by Dale DiLeo,Pat Rogan, and Tammara Geary, January 2000

segregated services for people with disabilities. The statement calls for several actions,

Background Paper PDF APSE Ethical Guidelines For Professionals in Supported Employment
Developed - by Dale DiLeo, Training Resource Network, Rebecca McDonald, UAP of NJ-UMDNJ and Susan Killam, AcME, Inc.
Contribution in the community as a valued, interdependent member occurs when human
dignity is respected and opportunities are provided for each individual to pursue their
unique path of development and fulfillment. While paid human service professionals cannot
create inclusive communities, they can positively impact their emergence and growth. For
trainers of staff in supported employment, these basic human principles should be considered.
Ethical Guidelines PDF APSE Supported Employment Quality Indicators
These quality indicators have been developed through the efforts of several
people who have volunteered, at various times, to be part of APSE's Quality
Indicators Work Groups: Karen Flippo, Pat Keul, Tom Harrison, Debra Martin Petty,
Brenda Harvey, Dale Dutton, Renee Drouet, Bob Niemiec, Rebecca McDonald, Sue
Killam, Pat Rogan, Tammara Geary, Linda Quinn, Dale DiLeo, Rob Hoffman, and the
New Jersey APSE Chapter. This final version was compiled by Pat Rogan in March 2000.
National APSE is the largest professional advocacy organization in the country
representing supported employment (SE) and the individuals served in SE. Supported
Employment has grown significantly in the past decade, involving approximately 150,000
individuals with disabilities. This document represents an effort by national APSE to
