d. 2. N. ii. II. How the State Will Leverage Other Public and Private Funds to Increase Resources for Extended Services and Expanded Supported Employment Opportunities for Youth with the Most Significant Disabilities.
Current Narrative:
In regard to leveraging other public and private funds to increase resources for extended services and expanded Supported Employment opportunities for youth with the most disabilities, California is unique in that through the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 4500 et seq.), the California Department of Developmental Services provides extended services.
The California Department of Developmental Services received state funding for paid internship programs for individuals with most significant disabilities and competitive integrated employment incentive payments to Community Rehabilitation Programs. CDOR will work collaboratively with the California Department of Developmental Services to leverage these paid internship programs to afford students and adults with the most significant disabilities work experience opportunities.
