Maine's CHOICES CEO Project
Youth in Transition from School to Work: Disability Disclosure Demonstration Sessions
The Maine Transition Network has recently completed a demonstration project that addresses the understanding of one's disability, fears about disclosing disability information with employers, and that provides information on how to ask for accommodations.
A disability disclosure curriculum was developed for young people and educators. A student workbook that accompanies the curriculum was also developed. If you are interested in learning more about this work, please contact us. This work builds on a publication of the National Collaborative on Workplace and Disability, titled, "411 on Disability Disclosure: A Workbook for Youth with Disabilities."
The curriculum was rolled out in six regions of the state.
