Community Interview

This piece of evidence is community interview paper. I was required to find an agency that serves individuals and interview the person in charge regarding the service they provide to individual with disabilities. Questions included in the interview consist of “what type of agency is it”, “what interaction does the agency have with schools, youth, families”, “what services does the agency provide”, “eligibility requirements for the services”, etc. After completing the interview, I created a Smore Flyer to advertise the information acquired. The Smore Flyer is an example of an advertisement that I could offer parents/guardians to learn about transitional agencies available in the area. I completed my interview on Project SEARCH, an internship program for young adults with disabilities. The Smore Flyer and interview were created and adapted to meet the assignment requirements for my Career, Vocational, and Community Education for Youth with Exceptional Needs course (Education 368).
