Realistic job preview videos

In 2010, DADS produced two 20-minute realistic job preview videos for employers to use before hiring direct support workers. Individuals describe their jobs and speak frankly about the rewards and challenges of this type of work.

• The first video focuses on working with people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities.

• The second video focuses on working with older adults and people with physical disabilities.
