Many people with significant disabilities want to work. They have skills, talents and experience to offer employers, but face barriers to employment that prevent them from reaching their full potential. They fear losing their health care coverage and often struggle to understand the complex and uncoordinated array of benefits and employment services available. The Pathways office houses a number of initiatives designed to address the barriers to employment and community living faced by many individuals with disabilities. Pathways, with input from key stakeholders including consumers, advocates and policy makers, identifies current systemic barriers and designs creative pilots to address them. The goal is to test innovative solutions to existing problems and incorporate them into the overall consumer-driven, systems change movement in Wisconsin. In addition to addressing systemic problems in Wisconsin, the Pathways team provides technical assistance to other states interested in replicating similar initiatives.
