MN APSE is an action oriented organization. We exist to bring people together to raise expectations so that people with disabilities can be employed, contribute and assume their roles and responsibilities as citizens in their communities.
Employment is the same wages, standards, responsibilities, expectations, and opportunities available to any working age adult.
One person at a time. Employment is the avenue out of poverty and isolation.
