On behalf of the National Association of the Deaf (NAD), Jeff Rosen, my service dog Lia, and I participated in a meeting on March 11, 2010, with the Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) at the Department of Labor (DOL). The meeting was focused on the challenges to and the opportunities for the employment of people with disabilities in the Federal government and the private sector.
