Does Your Child Have Special Needs IDEA 2004
Department of Human Services launched the We Can Work campaign which focuses on sharing the stories of people who use DHS services and have enriching employment while still maintaining supports through Medicaid. The campaign features Yasom and Josie who both receive services and supports through DHS programs. Ads are running on social media and other digital platforms through early summer.
The We Can Work website includes the following:
- how people with disabilities can see if they qualify for Medicaid
- employment supports for people covered by Medicaid
- additional resources for people seeking employment
- Josie and Yasom’s stories
