“People with IDD want to work,” said Teresa Anderson, Executive Director of CPCIDD. “But the systems surrounding employment—transportation, benefits, service structures, and workforce capacity—are often misaligned or difficult to navigate. This report provides a clear look at where those barriers exist and what can be done to reduce them.”
“The CPCIDD Employment Report makes clear that employment disparities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are not the result of individual limitations, but of systemic barriers that can and must be addressed through informed policy, coordinated investment, and shared accountability,” said Griffen Stapp, Executive Director of Ability Central.
