Consumer Employment Survey
Texas is working, through a federal grant called the Medicaid Infrastructure Grant (MIG), to improve employment support services for people with disabilities in Texas . As part of that effort, the UT School of Social Work (UTSSW) is conducting an on-line consumer employment survey for persons with disabilities. The survey asks questions about your work history, the nature of your disability, job accommodations, the use of personal assistance services, self-employment, transportation, etc. The purpose of this survey is to examine gaps in existing employment support services for people with disabilities and to identify ways that the system might be improved to better meet the needs of people with disabilities.
The survey is being distributed through advocacy groups, state agencies, MHMR centers and provider associations. Please share this information with others you know who may be interested in completing the survey. The survey may be completed in either English or Spanish.
