The Wisconsin Department of Health Services has issued a set of principles, outlining their efforts to promote Competitive Integrated Employment for participants in all the long-term support programs administered by the state. The Arc Wisconsin worked with other disability organizations and provider groups, including Rehabilitation for Wisconsin, to ensure the principles promote positive outcomes for individuals with disabilities.

The Arc Wisconsin, Rehabilitation for Wisconsin, Survival Coalition of Wisconsin Disability Organizations and Wisconsin APSE collaborated with the Department on the development of these principles. Read their joint statement here here.
