Employment

 
The passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990 opened new opportunities for persons with intellectual disabilities, especially in the area of employment addressed specifically by Title I of the act.  The Kennedy Foundation has recently launched a major initiative designed to lead widespread employment of persons with intellectual disabilities in essentially all types of jobs.
