ELIGIBILITY FOR VOCATIONAL/EMPLOYMENT
A counselor with the North Carolina Division of Employment and Independence for People with Disabilities will work with you to write an individual plan of employment. If you select Kaleo Supports to provide your services, the counselor will send us a referral, which we will then accept. After that, we will set up an intake meeting with you. Typically, the counselors do not attend these intake meetings. Following the intake, we will begin your services.
