Summarizes the results of a December 2004 summit on connecting people with disabilities to the workforce.
This summit examined the barriers to work that continue to exist for people with disabilities, as well as what supports and services are most critical to helping people with developmental and other disabilities enter and succeed in the workplace. Participants identified the four key stakeholders critical to people with disabilities (particularly severe disabilities) finding and keeping a job: jobseekers themselves, their family/caregivers, employers, and service providers/disability agencies. Each stakeholder plays a unique role in facilitating -- or hindering -- the employment of people with disabilities.
