Understanding Pathways to Employment Services Activities and Outcomes

# data[].attributes.body
This document describes different phases a client in employment services may experience, and the associated service strategies and activities the client might expect. As the process for obtaining paid employment is individualized, the phases do not assume a linear process requiring all elements.

The document also defines what activities may be billed by employment providers and the billing category under which those hours should be reported. The expectation is that all hours reported are documented specific to the client authorized and relate to the goals and supports outlined within the client’s Individual Employment Plan.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This is PART 2 of the Disrupting Whiteness in Practice and Policy workshop that was held in January. Participants are welcome to join and will appreciate this workshop even if they were not able to attend the January session.

Professionals who support employment for adults with disabilities play a critical role in creating and shaping opportunities for inclusion, belonging, and success in the workplace. Yet, many of the systems and practices we work within were built on norms that center whiteness and ableism, often in ways that are invisible to those of us who benefit from them.

Join us in a brave and supportive space to learn, unlearn, and strengthen our collective capacity to create supportive workplaces where all people with disabilities can thrive on their own terms.

This workshop invites providers to examine how characteristics of whiteness and dominant culture can show up in employment services, workplace expectations, and provider-participant relationships. Together, we will explore how these patterns can unintentionally limit the self-determination, cultural expression, and full participation of the people we support.

Through reflection, discussion, and practical examples, we'll identify ways to interrupt these patterns and take anti-racist, anti-ableist actions that promote equity and belonging.
In Preparation for this Workshop:
This session will engage in deep, and at times challenging, reflections to unpack colonial, capitalist, Euro-centric beliefs and values that have endured over time and how whiteness shows up in practice and policy, with a focus on government, philanthropy, and human services. The discussion may surface discomfort, strong emotions, and personal reflection as we examine systems of power, privilege, and inequity. Discomfort is not only expected-it is an important part of unlearning and transformation. We invite you to consider how the expectation of constant comfort can uphold dominant norms, and to join us in decentering that expectation in service of equity and justice. We invite you to participate in this brave space with openness and respect, and to care for yourself in whatever ways you need-whether that means stepping away, taking breaks, or seeking support. Our shared goal is learning, growth, and action toward equity.

SR 8689 - 2025-26

Acknowledging March as developmental disabilities awareness month.

WHEREAS, March is recognized as Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month under the leadership of the National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities. It is a time to recognize people with developmental disabilities and the ways they strengthen families, communities, and public life across Washington state; and

WHEREAS, Developmental disabilities are lifelong conditions that may affect learning, communication, mobility, or independent living, and every person deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and care; and

WHEREAS, Estimates using federal definitions suggest that approximately 1.58 percent of Washington's population meets the criteria for intellectual and developmental disabilities, which translates to an estimated 120,000 people statewide, each with their own talents, goals, and contributions; and

WHEREAS, People with developmental disabilities are students, coworkers, neighbors, friends, and loved ones, and their lives reflect the importance of belonging, stability, and community support; and

WHEREAS, Across Washington, families and caregivers work every day alongside educators, health care professionals, service providers, and advocates to ensure individuals with developmental disabilities are supported at every stage of life, from early learning and school transitions to employment, housing, and community connection; and

WHEREAS, Washington's commitment to equity and opportunity is strengthened when people with developmental disabilities are welcomed, included, and able to participate fully in their communities;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Washington state Senate acknowledge March as Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, honor individuals with developmental disabilities across Washington state, and express appreciation for the families, caregivers, educators, providers, and advocates whose care and support help make our communities more inclusive, more connected, and stronger for everyone.
