Policy Statements and Issue Briefs. Business Case for Hiring People with Disabilities (2012) ODEP has recognized that employer involvement and support is essential to integrating people with disabilities into the labor market.

For this project, in addition to organizing and convening Virtual Business Leadership Information Exchange sessions, Social Dynamics will research and produce a White Paper and several policy documents to facilitate the use of the final Business Case by policymakers and business leaders.
