VISIONS Services for the Blind and Visually Impaired will use this award to improve their Summer Youth Work Experience Training (SYWET) program, which places participants into paid summer internships. VISIONS staff will first perform individualized assessments of all participants in the SYWET program. They will then develop or obtain an appropriate assessment instrument such as the Comprehensive Vocational Evaluation System. VISIONS, with help from outside consultants, will develop alternate programming to address mental health, cognitive, or behavioral issues among participants in order to reduce violence, attrition, and poor attitudes.
