WATERBURY, Conn., Feb. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Therap supports state-specific and national initiatives focused increasingly on community-based supports, less intensive support models, and helping individuals achieve gainful employment. Therap's web-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution has expanded its tools available in recognition of comprehensive employment and community-based services.

Intellectual and developmental disability providers and other Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) agencies use Therap's Employment module and affiliated tools to track a range of related supports and documentation, from eligibility and referral to assessment, intake and creation of the employment plan, to point-of-contact service documentation, job-training and milestone completion, to name a few. With Therap's Job Bank-Employer Database, employment support specialists may maintain an accurate history of an individual's work experience and job details, and quickly search employers in the community matching desired career field, hours, job qualifications, or skills needed using a maintained directory. Plans are fully developed and target milestones including 30/60/90 day secured employment reviews can be added and noted complete. Job coaching and employment service hours can be linked to service authorizations for direct billing to Medicaid, third-parties or manual claiming.

Providers of Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) services utilize Therap's employment features to capture all necessary data for state-specific VR forms through comprehensive reports and export features, and they can analyze total service hours spent to reach an individual's goals. With comprehensive reporting through the employment tools, an agency can identify at any time which individuals are on a particular milestone, or how much staffing hours were utilized to achieve said milestone.
