        A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION supporting the goals set forth by the Alliance for Full Participation's campaign, Real Jobs-It's Everybody's Business.

    Whereas, The Alliance for Full Participation is "a formal partnership of leading organizations serving the developmental disabilities field that share a common vision- to help create a better and more fulfilling quality of life for people with developmental disabilities";

    Whereas, We all must work toward the goal of creating employment expectations for persons with developmental disabilities equal to those for people without disabilities;

    Whereas, "Real Jobs-It's Everybody's Business", a campaign sponsored by The Alliance for Full Participation, has set a goal to double the employment rate for people with disabilities by 2015;

    Whereas, Setting a goal to double the employment rate for people with developmental disabilities is the only way to move forward to full participation for all people in the community life;

    Whereas, The employment rate for typical Americans is 79.7 percent while the employment rate for people with developmental disabilities is only 22 percent;

    Whereas, People with developmental disabilities want to be fully functioning members of society working, earning

money, and accomplishing their own goals;

    Whereas, When people with developmental disabilities are working they are contributing valuable skills and assets to their local communities; and

    Whereas, The Commission on Developmental Disabilities supports the Alliance for Full Participation's goal of doubling the employment rate for people with disabilities by 2015: Therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate of the General Assembly

of the State of Indiana, the House of Representatives concurring:

    SECTION 1. That the Commission on Developmental Disabilities expresses its full support for the Alliance for Full Participation in its goal to double the employment rate for people with disabilities by 2015 and urges the Indiana General Assembly to also do so.
    SECTION 2. That copies of this resolution be transmitted by the Secretary of the Senate to The Alliance for Full Participation.
