Public Meetings on Vocational Rehabilitation and Supported Employment Services The following link(s) will open in one new tab or window. Should you have any questions regarding this article, please follow the specific contact information provided. The New York State Office of Vocational and Educational Services for Individuals with Disabilities (VESID) and the State Rehabilitation Council are developing the State Plan for Vocational Rehabilitation and Supported Employment Services for Federal Fiscal Year 2011 (beginning October 1, 2010). To assist in the development of the State Plan, three public meetings are being held to gather recommendations from individuals with disabilities, their families, advocates and services providers on how VESID can improve vocational rehabilitation and supported employment services. The current State Plan for Vocational Rehabilitation and Supported Employment Services is available for review at the VESID website: www.vesid.nysed.gov . VESID is interested in identifying the vocational rehabilitation and employment needs of individuals with disabilities who are unserved and underserved and in developing priorities, goals and strategies to address those needs.

People First Language The DDPC strictly adheres to and encourages the use of people first language. However you may note that in some articles/stories appearing in the E-Bulletin the language used is not always entirely people first. Articles submitted to the DDPC are taken verbatim from the source and are therefore not edited by the DDPC for correct people first language due to copyright restrictions. |
