Why not combine the Randolph-Sheppard program with other programs to offer business and employment opportunities to persons with disabilities?
The number of opportunities available under the Randolph-Sheppard program continues to decline, while blind people who are ready to work wait for facilities to open. If Randolph-Sheppard opportunities are made available for individuals with a wide range of disabilities, blind people would be squeezed out of those opportunities presently generated by the program. Other business development programs especially designed for persons with particular disabilities should be created or enhanced. The limitations resulting from different disabling conditions are unique and must be considered to achieve appropriate use of skills and abilities.
