The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) serves individuals with an intellectual disability or autism. In support of the Employment First Act and Everyday Lives philosophy, ODP provides services that support an individual to obtain and maintain competitive integrated employment as the "first consideration and preferred outcome." Each individual enrolled with ODP has an Individual Support Plan (ISP) developed using Person Centered Planning. Whether an individual has an employment goal is captured in their ISP, which is updated at least annually, or more often if needed.

Some examples of an employment goal are exploring competitive integrated employment, increasing or decreasing hours of current employment, changing jobs, or career advancement. The number of individuals in competitive integrated employment is captured by the Supports Coordinator when conducting Individual Monitoring. The frequency of Individual Monitoring varies depending on the program in which the individual is enrolled.
