Transforming Connecticut’s Employment Service System

CPR, in partnership with Disability Rights Connecticut (DRC), are working to transform Connecticut’s employment service for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).  The Washington Initiative for Supported Employment (WISE) conducted a review of Connecticut’s employment services for adults, and transition services for youth with IDD in the public-school transition planning process.  Other experts reviewed individuals in sheltered and congregated employment. 

Based upon the experts’ findings, CPR and DRCT are working with state officials to create a transformation plan for Connecticut’s employment service system.
