Community Integration Programs

Individuals with more complex needs and more severe disabilities may choose to focus on issues other than work or may choose to enter the workforce at a later time.  Others may work on a limited basis and still choose to pursue advanced training in other areas of community living and integration.

JCI offers the following programs to help individuals with disabilities develop work, social, and community integration skills.  Programs are available Monday-Friday and are funded through contractual relationships with Local Management Entities. Individuals must be 16 and older and meet established admissions criteria.
