Employment and Independence for People with Disabilities
Access to good jobs for all.
EIPD helps people with disabilities achieve their goals for competitive employment and more independent living in communities statewide.
What We Do
Each year, we help thousands of people overcome disability-related barriers and achieve their goals for competitive employment and more independent living in their community. In collaboration with each client, we help assess skills, interests and abilities and choose a goal for competitive employment or independence. Based on the client’s needs, we create a customized plan of services and supports to help them achieve that goal. If a disability or chronic medical condition is a barrier to achieving your goals, we can help! We deliver services statewide through our network of more than 70 local EIPD offices.
