Tell Us Your Story!

Calling All Story Tellers (That Means You)!

Please tell us your story about how the high rate of unemployment for people with disabilities affects you personally. We will use these stories as anonymous examples for why we need HB 655 to pass, as well as in our employment awareness campaign.

HB 655 would create the Employment and Economic Opportunity for Persons with Disabilities Task Force. The Task Force would be required to analyze programs and policies of the State, State disability systems, applicable research and policy studies, innovations used in other States, and federal policy initiatives, in order to remove barriers and increase employment and economic opportunity for persons with disabilities.

Thanks for all that you do!
