6. Summary

Module 4 explores the concept of Supported Employment, which involves providing
assistance to individuals with mental or physical disabilities to help them secure and maintain

competitive employment while receiving necessary treatments. Supported Employment offers
comprehensive support throughout the employment cycle, including assistance with

accommodations, benefits, social integration, and career advancement opportunities.

The module highlights the principles and impact of Supported Employment, particularly in

employing and retaining Autistic staff within the European Hospitality Sector. To effectively
support Autistic employees, managers can leverage a range of tools developed through the

PERFORM Project (described in detail in module 6). These tools are designed to provide
targeted support throughout the employment cycle, with a focus on Coaching and Mentoring,

as well as performance and well-being appraisals.
