IDD/Residential // Workforce Inclusion: Data-Driven Accommodations

The Challenge:

For individuals with IDD or physical disabilities who work in the community, managing incontinence at a job site can be a major stressor. Without a clear understanding of their "voiding history," it is difficult for vocational coaches to ask employers for specific breaks. Often, residents are forced to work shorter shifts or avoid employment entirely because they fear an accident at work that requires care assistance not available on-site.

The eBrief Solution:

eBrief provides the objective "voiding history" needed to create successful Workplace Accommodations. By analyzing trends, care teams can determine exactly when a resident is likely to need assistance. This allows the resident or their advocate to ask for specific break times or a shift schedule that aligns with their body's natural clock. Instead of "guessing" when they might need help, the resident goes to work with a data-backed plan that ensures they can remain dry and professional throughout their shift.

The Impact:

Employment Longevity: Increasing the success rate of community employment by removing the "moisture barrier."

Empowered Advocacy: Providing vocational coaches with the data needed to negotiate fair and effective workplace accommodations.
