Description

In 2012, the state of Iowa became one of the first protege states to participate in ODEP's Employment First State Leadership Mentoring Program (EFSLMP). Since then, Iowa has shown substantial progress in moving people with disabilities out of segregated settings and into competitive integrated employment. This presentation will discuss the role the Iowa UCEDD has played, and how other UCEDDs can get involved with the ODEP initiatives in their state.
