[NFBF-L] FW: New Brief: Research Supporting Competitive, Integrated Employment

[Sherri Brun]

For those of you who are legislatively interested, this totally supports our bill Transformation to Competitive Integrated Employment Act (H.R. 2373/S. 3238).  I have really gotten a lot of information from ACL.gov (the Administration for Community Living)  This past week, I attended to presentations celebrating the ADA, one from the Deprtment of Transportation and one from the Department of Labor.  I found the below information extremely interesting and in my humble opinion, should make our Florida Congressman and Senators aware of it.  Thank you.

Competitive, integrated employment (CIE) – working in the community, alongside people with and without disabilities, at competitive wages – offers a direct pathway to greater independence and self-sufficiency for people with disabilities. CIE is increasingly becoming the expectation across the country.

ACL is committed to expanding employment opportunities for people with disabilities. In addition to funding programs that provide direct employment support services to people with disabilities and advocating for policies and practices that prioritize and support CIE as a key element of community living, ACL also is investing in research to increase knowledge about the benefits of employment of people with disabilities – both for the individual and for the employer – and to increase the availability of effective interventions to support employment.
