Equal Justice Talks Webinar Series Thursday, October 23, 2025 - 12:00–1:00 PM (EST)
After the Sentence: Reentry Realities for People with IDD - "Opening Doors: Fair Chance Hiring and Inclusive Employment for Justice-Involved People with IDD"

REGISTER: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__Mo9Sl6wQtyokcJM_Gmt7A #/registration

Every reentry story deserves a fair start. Yet for many individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) who have been involved in the justice system, meaningful employment remains out of reach—blocked by stigma, systemic bias, and complex benefit barriers.

This timely session spotlights actionable strategies for opening doors to opportunity. Dr. Matt Saleh of Cornell University will explore evidence-based fair chance hiring practices, inclusive employer engagement, and benefits planning approaches that can transform reentry outcomes for people with IDD.

Attendees will gain a sharper understanding of how justice, disability, and employment policy intersect and how professionals across law, rehabilitation, and human services can work together to build equitable pathways to work and community life.

Key takeaways:
• Proven models for employer engagement and fair chance hiring
• Practical guidance on work incentives and benefits planning for people with IDD
• Insights on cross-sector collaboration among justice, legal, and disability systems
