Hiring someone with an IDD can be an incredibly rewarding and smart business decision. They are usually reliable, productive and energetic workers who can bring diversity and new perspectives to your team. Research has shown that they are less likely to take sick days, less likely to be in work-related accidents and can excel in certain tasks where others can’t or won’t.

Nonprofit agencies provide businesses with no-cost onboarding, including identifying suitable work, interviewing candidates, and onsite job coaching.
