\n* Financial planning<\/p>\n

David Hammis, a Senior Partner at Griffin-Hammis Associates, has worked in supported employment since 1988 and is personally responsible for the implementation of over 250 Plans for Achieving Self Support (PASS) leading to employment, selfemployment, and personal resources for people with disabilities. He has developed over 175 jobs, including a significant number of entrepreneurial successes for individuals with severe and multiple disabilities.<\/p>\n
