Product Description:
Over the past decade, the concept of Employment First the idea that employment in integrated settings within the community should be the priority service option - has emerged in the disability field. The result has been ongoing development of a multitude of documents pertaining to Employment First, including state legislation, policies, reports, articles, etc. The attached list, developed by the State Employment Leadership Network (SELN), is an attempt to provide a comprehensive listing of these documents, as a resource to policymakers, advocates, and others. Originally developed in 2010, this Resource List has been regularly updated as Employment First efforts have evolved across the United States and now internationally. A primary emphasis with this list has been to identify legislation, regulations, and policy directives implementing Employment First policies.
