From January through June 2024, the Washington Initiative for Supported Employment (Wise) facilitated the Beyond Limits: Personal Journeys Towards Employment Success Results and Innovation in Systems Excellence (RISE) peer e-learning community for the Administration on Disabilities (AoD) Disability Employment Technical
Assistance Center (DETAC). This series offered a platform for self-advocates to share their employment journeys, providing valuable insights to AoD grantees around unique challenges they faced, lessons they learned, and accomplishments they achieved while navigating systemic barriers. To broaden the reach of this community, we’re excited to share this one-pager with a summary of the community, links to all session recordings, examples of actions you can take to advance employment and self-advocacy.
