Check out this new publication from the National Collaborative on Workforce and Disability for Youth written in collaboration with U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) -- right off the press!

Written from a “disability rights” perspective, this timely guide is essential for One-Stop Career Centers to improve services and outcomes for youth, ages 14 to 25, with diagnosed and undiagnosed learning disabilities. 

Topics include
  • ensuring appropriate and timely access to assistive technology
  • learning how to disclose one’s disability effectively
  • understanding how to access civil rights protections in educational, vocational, and social settings
