I first attended training offered by Allen Anderson in 1995. Upon returning to our agency, I used some of the skills taught and had success. The more I used and refined the skills the higher my success rate became in developing job opportunities for our multihandicapped blind clientele.
We were so impressed with the effectiveness of the “business approach” to job development that we now provide the training to all of our placement staff. Based on the results we achieved here, the Florida Division of Blind Services now offers the training to their placement counselors state wide. Allen’s techniques serve as the foundation for all of our placement services. I recommend this training to anyone that needs to develop job opportunities for people with significant disabilities.
