Programs for adults with developmental disabilities will be more focused on finding jobs for them, under new agreements with the federal Medicaid program.
Previously, the state of Nebraska paid agencies working with adults with developmental disabilities only for the time they were working face to face with a client, said Jodi Fenner, director of the state's Division of Developmental Disabilities.
Now the state can pay for the legwork agencies take to create job opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities, under new agreements.

Try finding clothes that are tagless, flat-seamed, wide-collared, elastic-waisted, smooth, bio-washed cotton and styled with a creative flare.
That describes Soft Clothing for All Children, the first line of its kind specifically created for youngsters with tactile sensitivity, but fashionable enough to appeal to any kid's taste.
