RISEI Evidence Brief · Making Time Count
Where does a typical young Mainer's VR time go?
On average, young Mainers spend ~3 years in VR — but 40% of that time is spent waiting for services, not receiving them. P2P is built to close that gap.

P2P sits on a national evidence base showing disability employment policy works.
The first national quasi-experimental study of Section 14(c) elimination found no aggregate job loss and meaningful reductions in welfare receipt — the kind of outcomes P2P's integrated services are designed to scale.

RSU 29 · ETL Portfolio + Pre-ETS
Before P2P, I didn't know how to explain what I needed in class. My Empower the Learner portfolio helped me walk into my IEP meeting and say "this is how I learn best." My teachers listened.

Recent graduate · Benefits + DVR
I was scared that working part-time would mean losing my SSI. My CWIC walked through every scenario with me and my mom. Now I have a job at the hardware store and my benefits are protected.

Alex, Age 14
RSU 71 · Self-Advocacy Curriculum
Doing the Vision Board at the end of the DRM class was the first time I got to say out loud what I wanted my life to look like. I put "own my own apartment" on there, and my mom didn't say I couldn't.
