Speaker: Joseph Isaacs, FASAE, CAE, Vice President Public Policy, United Spinal Association. This webinar examines federal government programs aimed at assisting individuals with disabilities to acquire gainful employment in competitive, integrated settings. It will discuss what can be done legislatively to improve upon these programs, such as re-authorizing and updating the Vocational Rehabilitation Act and eliminating outmoded provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act that continue to allow people with disabilities to be paid sub-minimum wages in segregated workshops. Useful information will also be provided to those looking to return to work.
