I want to know more about different transportation options and ways people with disabilities can get a ride to different places, such as the store, to a job, to the movies, or to see friends.

I want to know more about different employment options for people with disabilities, such as staying at or leaving a workshop, working in the community, getting a new job or keeping a current job.

I want to know more about school and college options for people with disabilities.
