[Russell Davis]

Good morning Sherri,
Thanks so very much for sharing this information. Florida has an incredible legislative team, I am so proud to be part of this family.
Now it’s time for our mini Washington seminar, see everybody on the numerous zoom calls we will have over the next couple of weeks.
 Very respectfully,



Russ Davis,
Ph. (904) 993  8433

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.

CIE is increasingly becoming the expectation across the country.

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.
