DETAC and its convener partners are excited to announce the launch of a new National Self-Employment Network (NSEN) to expand awareness of and access to self-employment pathways that can increase independence and economic mobility for people with disabilities. The NSEN will build upon existing efforts to elevate self-employment pathways, strengthen cross-system partnerships, and generate actionable insights to address common barriers faced by entrepreneurs with disabilities.

Local artists and makers with Autism/IDD will showcase their handmade and small-batch produced goods. Shoppers can connect directly to the makers, learn about their artistic process, and hear the story behind their businesses. 100% of the sales go directly to the vendor, fostering economic empowerment and independence.
