ODE Guidance - Supported Employment Services

This guidance document (attached) is provided for special education directors, secondary special education teachers, administrators and transition specialists.  The Settlement Agreement for the Lane vs. Brown case was approved in December 2015, and relates to persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) who worked in or were referred to sheltered workshops.  A portion of the Settlement Agreement deals with transition services, and it provides that ODE shall require that the transition planning process include information about, and provide opportunities to experience, Supported Employment Services in Integrated Employment Settings for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD).
