Data Note: State Intellectual And Developmental Disability Agencies' Funding For Employment Services, Jean E. Winsor, Frank A. Smith
Data Note Series, Institute for Community Inclusion
Employment has been identified as a priority outcome in federal policy and state employment-first initiatives, and by individuals with IDD.

A total of 40 agencies responded to the module. Their responses provide a broader understanding of the relationship between the two types of state agencies, and the ways in which they work together to provide integrated employment services.
