Steve,  Our Project SEARCH was in local hospitals and were generally successful.  Upon the federal push to hire folks with disabilities, SEARCH went to our Federal Center as a hosting site.  It failed due to the personnel rules and rigidity thereof - not sure what the solution is, but hope there is one.  Marcia

Do any state governments providing a preference for the employment of people with disabilities by state government.  Kansas is looking at doing something like this but we don’t know how to make it work.  Do you ask on the application and then how do you manage a preference.  I am hoping some other state has this figured out.
