Program Design

NOD works with foundations, government agencies, employers, and researchers to design new programs that address employment issues for people with disabilities. Program topics range from universal design, to flexible work arrangements, to transitioning students with disabilities from high school to the workforce.

In some cases our program design work leads to demonstration programs, such as our Bridges to Business program. In another case, the result is ongoing service delivery, as NOD continues to coordinate our 16 year-old Start on Success student internship program.
