A survey conducted in 2003 found that 70% of people with developmental disabilities who were not working wanted a job. Armed with this data and additional national data that show that people with developmental disabilities who work have better personal outcomes than those who do not, the Agency developed a plan with two goals:
- to enable at least 50% of adults (18-55) receiving APD-funded day services to achieve community employment by July 1, 2009;
and - to support 25% of the individuals who are currently in adult day training (ADT) programs to become employed in their community July 1, 2009.
