Natural supports are support from supervisors and coworkers, such as mentoring, friendships, socializing at breaks and/or after work, providing feedback on job performance, or learning a new skill together at the invitation of a supervisor or coworkers. These natural supports are particularly effective because they enhance the social integration between the employee with a disability and his/her coworkers and supervisor. In addition, natural supports may be more permanent, consistently and readily available, thereby facilitating long-term job-retention.
