Resources About Employment
Historically, the majority of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities have been unemployed or underemployed, although they are able and willing to work in the community. It is The Arc’s position that people with disabilities should have the opportunity to:
• Find and keep community jobs based on their preferences, interests, and strengths
• Work alongside people without disabilities
• Receive comparable wages
• Be free from workplace discrimination
