Practical Assessment Exploration System (PAES) Labs
PAES Labs help students with disabilities learn hands on about different jobs and see what they’re good at. In the lab, students act like they are at a real job. They clock in and out, follow work rules, and try different tasks in areas like computers, construction, cooking and customer service.
Students learn what jobs they like and what they need help with. PAES also tracks important work skills like following directions, being safe, and getting along with others. The lab helps students get ready for real jobs in the future.
