New England Rehabilitation Continuing Education Program (NERCEP)
CCIDS is entering the third year of its partnership with the University of
Massachusetts Boston, Institute for Community Inclusion, to provide the needed
link with Maine for the New England Rehabilitation Continuing Education Program
(NERCEP). NERCEP is part of the Rehabilitation Services Administration’s
national network of continuing rehabilitation education centers for employment
service providers, offering training and technical assistance to improve
employment outcomes for people with disabilities.
The Center’s primary role in the project is to provide technical assistance
and curriculum development expertise focusing on the employment support needs of
individuals with autism. The Center has developed and field-tested an employment
curriculum, Supporting Employment for Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder,
and will offer it in Maine and New England. In addition, the Center will author
employment-related materials for newsletters and information briefs and will
share training data related to its Maine Employment Curriculum, offered to
employment support personnel statewide.
