As the International Day of Persons with Disabilities falls next Tuesday, I felt obliged to table a question on the number of persons with intellectual disabilities who are finding pathways to employment. While I understand the considerable pressure on employment in general, more should be done to find pathways for people with intellectual disabilities into community and sheltered employment and the open employment market. Figures show we have a poor record on finding pathways to work for people with intellectual disabilities.
