As Kyle's Job Coach, I focused on Kyle and what Kyle wanted. Kyle had his first interview in late November at a local movie theatre; the position he applied for didn't get offered to him to fit his accommodations. Due to Kyle's determination, he achieved his goal on December 12! He is excelling at his job, completing assigned tasks, and his skills are constantly increasing! As his Job Coach, I ensured three things: I will listen, I will understand, I will advocate.
