The Connecticut Department of Developmental Services (DDS) and the Connecticut Bureau of Rehabilitation (BRS), working collaboratively with Disability Rights Connecticut (DRCT) and the Center for Public Representation (CPR), developed this plan to expand Competitive Integrated Employment (CIE) for transition-age students and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in Connecticut. The proposed action steps outlined in the plan aim to provide individuals with opportunities to learn about, secure, and maintain CIE and to establish and measure individual employment outcomes over the course of its implementation.
The Plan is organized around 8 themes, each with distinct goals. The Plan enumerates action steps corresponding to each goal based on the timeline for the associated action. For example, Item 1.1 in a table will be the first action step toward achieving goal 1 in that thematic section.
