Hi all,

 

The NC Council on Developmental Disabilities is interested in the possibly developing a user-friendly I/DD employment resource guide for NC.  Our review so far has resulted in turning up plenty of information but often technical and not very user friendly, requiring a certain comfort level navigating web based information and filtering through a variety of resources to find specific information pertaining to I/DD.   

 

To that end our Council would like to learn about available in other states:

 

1.       An easy to use online employment resource guide that is friendly to use for someone with I/DD that provides a list of potential contacts or agencies and also provides guidance on navigating those various systems that can point to the resources to help guide someone to competitive integrated employment. 

2.       A guide that provides information targeted to reach families, businesses, educators, as well as self-advocates.  

 

We would appreciate information or recommendations that you can provide as we continue to learn more about what is current and useful.

 

Thanks in advance for your assistance with this.

 

Best,

Chris
