Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities
Intent to Award Funds
The Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities announces its in-
tention to award grant funds to the Texas Workforce Commission for
the development and implementation of policies, practices, and proce-
dures, which demonstrate effective inclusive employment services for
people with disabilities.
Background:
Following the award of a grant from the Department of Labor, the
State of Texas established twenty eight Local Workforce Development
Boards around the state to integrate the delivery of workforce devel-
opment programs in one-stop Career Centers, where customers may
receive all employment and training assistance at one central location.
Local Workforce Development Boards display a large degree of au-
tonomy, flexibility, and local control, and the centers present a wide
variance in knowledge concerning techniques supportive of inclusive
service provision. Although Equal Employment Opportunity represen-
tatives are present in each center and work with local centers' Executive
Directors to monitor compliance with the Americans with Disabilities
Act and access issues identified by the annual EEO Risk Assessment
Plan, both the Commission and local centers recognize the need to have
a better understanding of how to provide quality services to customers
with disabilities. Collaborative meetings between members and staff of
the Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities and the Texas Work-
force Commission produced a proposal to improve the service provi-
sion to people with disabilities by Workforce programs.
Description of Project:
The project proposes to identify and systematically train Workforce
staff in best practices regarding employment preparation needs for peo-
ple with disabilities, resulting in the development and consistent prac-
tice of quality inclusive service provision to all Texans. The Texas
Workforce Commission will identify specific internal and external bar-
riers faced by local one-stop career centers and design and implement
evaluation tools to monitor the impact of efforts to remove these bar-
riers and improve services. They will develop and provide all staff
with a training curriculum containing available resources and informa-
tion, appropriate referral processes, and individualized planning proce-
dures. One or two sites in Texas will be selected to serve as models,
demonstrating best practices. TWC will maintain a Project Advisory
Committee responsible for offering guidance to project staff. The com-
mittee will have representation from consumers, Vocational Rehabili-
tation, disability advocacy organizations and local workforce develop-
ment boards.
