The Arc of Texas supports competitive, integrated employment opportunities for all Texans with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Last Texas legislative session, The Arc of Texas and our partners worked to dismantle stereotypes and barriers to Texans with IDD getting paid a fair wage.
When Senate Bill 753 by Senator Joan Huffman became law in 2019, Texas transitioned a state program away from the discriminatory practice of paying less than minimum wage to people with disabilities. This law is also improving employment outcomes for Texans with IDD by matching their goals with their skills. We are proud to be at the forefront of these efforts to ensure all Texans with IDD get equal pay for their work.
When you become an ally of The Arc of Texas, you join us in standing up for the human rights and self-determination of all Texans with IDD.
