Vocational Training & Placement Services
Suffolk AHRC's Vocational Training program is designed to
provide meaningful work in a number of settings while improving
functional skills and raising self-esteem. Pre-vocational,
vocational, social and clinical services are provided to facilitate
progress within the sheltered setting. The programs promote
choice and active involvement for each participant and are
located at three sites:
-2900 Veterans Memorial Highway, Bohemia
55 Crossways East, Bohemia
14 Old Riverhead Road, Westhampton Beach

Vocational placements for adults with developmental disabilities
range from one-step assembly work in one of our three sheltered
workshops to competitive employment in communities throughout
Suffolk County. A broad variety of training and employment
options allows us to provide program participants with the work
experience that will satisfy their adult need for paid employment,
while teaching and improving functional skills.

The Work Activities programs operate under the guidelines
established by the New York State Office of Mental Retardation
and Developmental Disabilities (OMRDD) and the Department of
Labor. Referrals may come from the New York State Office of
Vocational Educational Services for Individuals with Disabilities
(VESID), the New York Commission for the Blind and Visually
Handicapped, and local school districts.

All Work Activities programs are free of charge to all participants.
Transportation is provided for Vocational Trainees in the
Sheltered Workshop program only. For more information, call
