Oregon Department of Human Services Integrated Employment Plan Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (revised 1/31/15)

"This Order recognizes the strategic importance of improving the work and economic opportunities of all Oregonians including those with Intellectual and other Developmental Disabilities (I/DD). More specifically, the Order sets forth strategies to be followed by DHS and the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) to further improve Oregon’s systems of designing and providing employment services to individuals with I/DD, including a significant reduction over time of state support of sheltered work and an increased investment in employment services. The Order also recognizes the implementation of Oregon’s Employment First policy as a framework for accomplishing the Executive Order’s desired goals.”
