Redefining Work Environments

Central to this initiative is the promotion of competitive integrated employment, wherein individuals with disabilities receive competitive wages and work alongside colleagues without disabilities. This redefinition of work environments aims to create inclusive spaces where diversity is celebrated and valued.

Bridging the Gap: A Collaborative Approach

Assistant Secretary for Disability Employment Policy, Taryn M. Williams, underscores the collaborative nature of this initiative, emphasizing the need to support various stakeholders. From families and workers requiring guidance on benefits planning to employers seeking assistance with accommodations and inclusive policies, the hub stands as a central repository of support and information.
