Disabilities and Employment
http://www.ncsl.org/programs/employ/disab-work.htm
People with disabilities make up a substantial portion of the workforce and potential workforce of this country. The federal Workforce Investment Act of 1998 not only initiated a national effort to use one-stop centers as the primary deliverer of employment, training and basic education services but also included the expectation that Americans with disabilities would have full access to these services.
The U.S. Department of Labor awarded a series of grants to ensure that all of the Department's job-related programs are fully available to people with disabilities. These grants included funding for two technical assistance centers -- one focusing on adults, the other focusing on youth with disabilities. NCSL is a partner in both technical assistance centers. This website contains information on state activities related to helping people with disabilities find and maintain gainful employment.
