Despite recent progress in employment legislation and local-level employment initiatives, finding and securing meaningful and community-based employment opportunities continues to be a major challenge for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD).
Over half (52.6%) of non-elderly adults with I/DD about whom caregivers reported in the FINDS survey received Supplemental Security Income (SSI). This data brief describes the characteristics and circumstances of these adult SSI recipients with I/DD and the families who care for them.
It is important to understand and respond to the needs of family caregivers who support individuals with ID/DD.
