CIE Services and Supports
- Limited Examination Appointment Program (LEAP) – LEAP is a way for a person with a disability to get a state job. Most state jobs require a person to take a written test. LEAP gives a person with a disability a different way to take a test to get a state job. Instead of having to do a written test a person with a disability shows what they can do by doing the job. This is called the Job Examination Period.
