Personal Assistance Services (PAS), also known as personal care assistance or support services, provide individuals with disabilities the help they need to perform daily tasks and participate fully in work and social environments. PAS includes assistance with activities such as mobility, communication, personal hygiene, and other functional needs. These services empower employees by promoting independence and accessibility, allowing them to focus on their job responsibilities without barriers. PAS is a critical accommodation that supports a wide range of functional limitations, enhancing workplace inclusion and productivity.
Begin by identifying specific tasks where assistance is needed and communicate these clearly with the PAS provider. Establish a consistent schedule and guidelines to maintain privacy and respect. Regularly review the arrangement to adapt support as needs change. Encourage open communication between the employee, assistant, and employer to foster a positive and productive work environment.
