Investing in People: Launching Supported Employment on a Crowded Public Agenda (Part 1)

When historians look back on American politics of the 1980s, they will be tempted to see the "Reagan Era" as a distinctive movement in American government. I am hopeful that there will be a general mention of the significant policy issues addressed in the disability area, and specifically, that attention will be given to launching supported employment on a crowded public agenda. The "how" of getting supported employment on the Reagan policy agenda, highlighting the budget context, demographics, and program data supporting such a change and policy advocacy within the administration, is detailed elsewhere in this volume by Tom Bellamy and Dick Melia. Here, I will address the broader political context.
