What We Do
The Division of Employment and Independence for People with Disabilities (EIPD) helps people with disabilities achieve their goals for employment and independence. If you have a disability that prevents you from achieving career success or independence in the community of your choice, EIPD can connect you to services and resources to help you meet your goals.
