One of our objectives in our new State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL) 
within our Employment Priority Area, is that we would identify resoure 
material regarding self-employment (year 1 of the SPIL-2013-2014), develop a 
resource guide (year 2 of the SPIL 2014-2015) and distribute the resource 
guide to all CILs (year 3 of the SPIL- 2015-2016) so that they could in turn 
distribute the resource guide to 200 customers during the third year of the 
SPIL.

I am pleased to report- because of our work on developing the Toolbox to 
Employment Seminars- that we were able to identify and update a very good 
Self-Employment Guide for People with Disabilities that was developed by 
Health and Disability Advocates years ago and was updated, for us, by Marsie 
Frawley with Griffin-Hammis Associates.

We are pleased to share this Guide with the Centers, the Employment Advisory 
Group members and our Board Members. We encourage the CILs to use and 
distribute this guide with their consumers.
