Description

Unemployment for individuals with disabilities remains stubbornly high. Given the recent changes to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid's Home and Community-Based (HCBS) Waiver rules, they now emphasize competitive employment as the preferred option for individuals receiving HCBS services. This session features four UCEDDs from across the network that have initiated programs which serve to address this challenge.
