Product Description:

Legislation prioritizes competitive integrated employment (CIE) for adults with disabilities.While policy clearly prioritizes CIE, funding and regulatory infrastructure to deliver on this goal receive less attention. As a result, employment programs navigate a fragmented system involving multiple funders (e.g. State IDD, Federal Medicaid, VR, Mental Health, counties, etc.) This addresses the ability to identify state-level barriers and reduce systemic friction and improve employment outcomes.
