SALEM, Ore., Nov. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Therap supports state specific initiatives that are focused increasingly on community-based supports, less intensive support models, and individuals achieving gainful employment. Therap has thus shifted its focus to creating new tools for providers to address the needs of their employment and community services. For providers in Oregon, Therap has introduced state specific assessment requirements in line with the Oregon Department of Human Services.

Oregon intellectual and developmental disability providers currently use Therap's Community Employment module to track a range of related supports and documentation. With Therap's Job Bank-Employer Database, Employment Support staff have the necessary tools to maintain an accurate history of the individual's work experience and job details. Administrative staff are able to create, update or delete employers, contact persons and job templates, viewable by support staff with assigned privileges. This ensures that staff are accessing accurate information on a consistent basis, from the point of service.

The Employment and Volunteering History form on Therap provides a comprehensive summary of employment services in one place. It details assessments and accomplishments the individual has made throughout their work experience. The attachment feature stores scanned documents in each section, creating a complete record of the individual's ongoing employment history.

Additionally, users may generate reports to measure progress and pull data from all areas of employment too.
