Employment Study

2010

The overarching purpose of the proposed Employment Study is to gain an understanding of the state of employment for Louisiana citizens with significant disabilities. To achieve this understanding it is necessary to first take stock of and document the availability of services/supports for people with significant disabilities who wish to acquire and maintain integrated, competitive, community-based employment. In addition, this study will document the extent to which available employment services and supports are accessed and received by eligible citizens. Finally, to the extent possible, we will determine the relationship between various employment services/supports and outcomes achieved for Louisiana citizens with significant disabilities. Collectively, these data will provide the basis for policy recommendations to improve access to employment services/supports and enhance community employment outcomes for Louisiana citizens with significant disabilities.
