What We Do

Inclusive Employment Tools and Technical Assistance

We believe in a whole community approach, moving people with disabilities out of poverty and fully including them in the community. Competitive integrated employment is key to making that happen.

WID offers resources on disability benefits and financial health and makes disability-specific recommendations for federal and state directives. Our comprehensive tools, curricula, and services help people with disabilities to advocate for themselves, make confident choices,  explore jobs, earn and save money, and fully take part in community life.
