We offer comprehensive support to help you access and maintain employment or higher education, recognizing that these pursuits are crucial for personal growth, independence, and social inclusion. Our goal is to empower individuals with disabilities to pursue meaningful work or educational opportunities that align with their interests and aspirations. Our tailored support services ensure that each person has the tools, resources, and guidance needed to thrive in their chosen path. The first step in our process is working with individuals to identify their career or education goals. We take the time to understand your skills, interests, and passions, helping to uncover potential career paths or areas of study that excite you. For those seeking employment, we assist in exploring different job roles, industries, and workplaces that align with your strengths and ambitions. If your focus is on pursuing higher education, we help identify programs, courses, and institutions that match your academic interests and career goals. Our person-centered approach ensures that your choices are driven by your own interests and aspirations. To succeed in the workplace or academic settings, individuals often need specific skills and training. At NewAura Disability Services, we offer a range of skill-building opportunities tailored to your needs. This might include developing practical job skills, such as time management, communication, and organization, or focusing on specific academic skills like study techniques and note-taking. We also provide training in computer and digital literacy, preparing you for the modern demands of many workplaces and online learning environments. Our goal is to ensure that you feel confident and capable as you step into new professional or academic roles.

Finding the right job can be challenging, especially if you are unsure how to present your strengths and experiences. Our team provides one-on-one assistance with creating resumes and cover letters that highlight your skills and qualifications. We help you identify your strengths, articulate your experiences, and craft applications that stand out to employers. Additionally, we support you through the job search process, guiding you in navigating job boards, networking opportunities, and local job fairs. For those pursuing higher education, we assist with completing applications, writing personal statements, and preparing for interviews with admissions teams. Interviews can be daunting, but with the right preparation, they can also be a great opportunity to showcase your potential. We offer practice interview sessions, providing feedback to help you feel prepared and confident. Our team can also help you understand your rights in the workplace or in educational settings, ensuring that you can advocate for reasonable accommodations that support your success. This could include discussing workplace modifications, flexible scheduling, or academic accommodations like extra time for tests. Our focus is on empowering you to communicate your needs effectively and to navigate these processes with confidence. For many individuals, gaining real-world experience is a key step in securing long-term employment. We help facilitate job placements, internships, and volunteer opportunities that allow you to build practical skills and gain valuable experience in your field of interest. We work closely with local businesses and organizations to identify opportunities that match your skills and career goals. These experiences not only help you build a strong resume but also provide a chance to develop professional networks that can be valuable throughout your career. Once you have secured a job or enrolled in a course of study, our support doesn’t stop there. We provide ongoing mentorship and guidance to help you adjust to new environments and overcome challenges as they arise. For those in employment, this might involve helping you navigate workplace dynamics, manage workload, or find strategies for staying organized. For students, we offer support with study planning, managing deadlines, and balancing coursework with other responsibilities. Our ongoing support ensures that you have a reliable resource to turn to whenever you need advice, encouragement, or a helping hand. Transitioning into a new job or educational setting can sometimes be overwhelming, and it’s natural to encounter obstacles along the way. We focus on building not only practical skills but also the confidence and resilience needed to succeed in the face of challenges. We work with you to develop coping strategies and problem-solving skills, ensuring that you can adapt to changes and maintain a positive mindset. By fostering a sense of self-belief, we aim to empower you to pursue your goals with determination and optimism.

We understand that creating a supportive environment often requires collaboration with employers, educational institutions, and community organizations. Our team works closely with these stakeholders to ensure that they understand your needs and provide the necessary accommodations. This might involve advocating for workplace adjustments, such as modified workspaces, or helping teachers and administrators implement learning strategies that suit your style. By building these partnerships, we help create inclusive environments where you can thrive. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to pursue their career and educational goals. Our comprehensive support services are designed to remove barriers and provide the tools needed for success in the workplace or in higher education.
