Alliance endorses Amendment 87 and opposes Proposition 136.

We’re fighting for sustainable funding for disability services so that people with IDD maintain access to needed supports and their providers, Case Management Agencies, and Early Intervention Brokers can continue to provide them.

This October, we celebrate National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) and 81 years of recognizing the contributions of people with disabilities in Colorado's workplaces!
This year we are focusing on Celebrating the Value and Talent that people with disabilities bring to the workplace, and recognizing their skills, perspectives, and contributions to our communities and economy.

One office we want to highlight is the Department of Labor and Employment’s Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR), which helps people with disabilities prepare for, obtain, and maintain employment while connecting employers with talented candidates.

Join us throughout October as we celebrate Colorado workers with disabilities and highlight opportunities to build more accessible, inclusive workplaces.
