Abstract: The Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act, through NISH, currently provides employment for 22884 people with severe disabilities working on product and service contracts for the federal government, a majority taking place in integrated community settings. The program has grown steadily over the past decade, with a strong potential for greater growth. The mechanics of the program as well as its benefits and risks need to be understood in order for rehabilitation facilities to take advantage of the opportunities to create suitable employment for workers with severe disabilities.
