What happens when a program designed to expand employment opportunities for people with disabilities becomes permanent?
In this episode of Disability in the Public Square, John Robinson takes a closer look at New York’s Preferred Source Program, recognizing the important opportunities it creates while raising questions about accountability, funding, and the future of disability employment.

Should the program be permanent, or should it continue to face independent review every three years? And what could happen if more of its resources were reinvested into expanding employment opportunities?

Listen as John explores these questions- and why he believes we can do so much more.
