People with disabilities have all of the hopes and dreams that any person wishes to realize after high school. If a person has severe/multiple disabilities they or their families may wonder what is possible. North Dakota provides a variety of options for persons with disabilities. Keep in mind:
Think about the kind of life the individual will have and not just where they will go.
If a person does not work, he or she will have large amounts of free time to fill.
Training or services need to be individualized to meet his or her unique needs.
The longer a person goes without working, the more difficult it will be to take on the risks associated with employment.
The rights of people with disabilities are protected by North Dakota law.
