n. 2. B. 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:
The DDS provides extended services through the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 4500 et seq.),
The DDS also received state funding for paid internship programs for individuals with most significant disabilities and competitive integrated employment incentive payments to Community Rehabilitation Programs for job retention after six and 12 months of employment. The CDOR will work collaboratively with DDS to leverage these paid internship programs to afford students and adults with the most significant disabilities opportunities to obtain work experience and pre-vocational soft skills development.
