"Our goal is to place each client in a job that he or she can do in the community."

- Lisa Fegert, Coordinator, PACTT Vocational Services 

PACTT Vocational Services works to place people with autism in jobs that allow them to use their skills and take their place in the working world. Working with individual teenagers and young adults with autism, the PACTT vocational services team builds slowly, spending time with each individual to develop personal strengths into working skills, then find the right job match.

 Once a client is placed in a new position, a PACTT on-site job coach is there to help foster success. Currently, 23 teenagers and young adults in the Vocational Services division are employed, working in a variety of jobs out in the community -- and getting great performance reviews from their employers and co-workers. 

 Thanks to all our
terrific employers!
