Given the right opportunities, including REAL employment, I now believe that Kyle will be able to care for himself when I’m no longer here to care for him. - @BillStumpf2

Kyle and @BillStumpf2 share their story at this morning’s congressional briefing. “I was a barrier because I didn’t understand the options.”

Joe Carroll: Sheltered workshop is not a bad word, and served an important purpose in its time. But now there are many more and better options for people with disabilities. As a parent, I needed to learn about those.

Tad became competitively employed at age 44. Here, his father tells the story! “He’s more in control of his life now.”

Oregon has committed to turning #EmploymentFirst into action! Anyone who raises their hand to say they want to work in the community is supported to do that! Excited to hear more of Oregon’s story at today’s briefing.

Eric was placed in a sheltered workshop when he was 16. Today, he’s working competitively in his community. Not everyone who is placed at such a young age receives encouragement and support to move on.

The first panel at today’s briefing is discussing the importance of choice - that everyone should get to choose where they live & work. Being placed somewhere, even when it’s comfortably, is NOT choice.

Mike wants what everybody else wants: meaningful work, friends, family, home ownership, and everything else the American Dream is supposed to contain.
