Parent to Parent of NYS, with funding as NYS Family to Family Health Care Information Center, has developed a guide of points for youth to consider when exploring work and career options. For a young adult with a disability, there are items to consider before building a career, exploring employment opportunities, or taking a job. To achieve success and prepare for the world of work, it is important to ask questions and consider particular strategies.

Pursuant to 20 United States Code § 1407(a)(2) each state is required to identify in writing to the Secretary of the U.S. Education Department and local educational agencies located in the state any rule, regulation or policy as a state-imposed requirement that is not required by IDEA and federal regulations. NYSED has taken steps to conduct a comprehensive review of its laws and regulations that apply to the education of students with disabilities.
