Description

As disability policy increasingly prioritizes integrated employment for people with IDD, defining the role of nonwork activities has been an emerging challenge. This poster will examine the role of community-based nonwork (CBNW) supports in an Employment First environment. Current research and development efforts aimed at promoting quality CBNW outcomes at the national, state, and local levels will be described.
